New European Bauhaus

About this programme

The New European Bauhaus is a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that connects the European Green Deal to our living spaces and experiences.

The New European Bauhaus initiative calls on all of us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. Beautiful are the places, practices, and experiences that are:

  • Enriching, inspired by art and culture, responding to needs beyond functionality.
  • Sustainable, in harmony with nature, the environment, and our planet. 
  • Inclusive, encouraging a dialogue across cultures, disciplines, genders and ages. 

This initiative also wants to create a new community and movement in the European Union by bringing citizens, experts, businesses, and institutions together to reimagine sustainable living in Europe and beyond.

From 2025 onwards the New European Bauhaus is set to have its first-ever multiannual funding tool, the New European Bauhaus Facility, that aims to revitalise neighbourhoods through design for sustainability and inclusion. It is a cross-cutting tool that combines different funding instruments of the Commission and covers the full cycle of implementation of solutions – from research and innovation to deployment – through its two components: 

  • A Research & Innovation component, anchored in Horizon Europe, will cover actions from research to testing and demonstration, with a yearly indicative budget of EUR 120 million.
  • A Roll-out component, building on the support to the New European Bauhaus already gathered from other eight EU programmes, will deploy solutions for the built environment, aiming to increase their impact on the ground. The Roll-out component aims to match the budget ambition of the R&I component through investments across various EU programmes over the next 3 years (2025-2027).

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
