Ignite New European Bauhaus (NEB) has opened a call for local host organisations or consortia to run a local innovation journey linked to community challenges. Selected hosts can receive up to €52,000 and are expected to deliver a local hackathon-style event in September or October 2026, followed by an eight-month incubation programme for winning teams. Applications are due by 7 May 2026.

The scheme is part of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus initiative and focuses on challenges linked to sustainability, design, culture and social innovation. Hosts are expected to mobilise local communities, work with challenge owners such as cities, NGOs or industry, and support teams from idea development to prototype testing.

An information session is planned for 9 April 2026, the application deadline is 7 May 2026 as mentioned above, the final selection is expected on 29 May 2026, and the programme is designed to start on 1 July 2026. More information about the call can be found on this website.
