Why to be part of the EU Design Days 2026?
After several successful events, Design Day has become a concept and a brand recognised by the key players within design at European level and the European Commission. Design Day provides you with an excellent opportunity to brand your region as one of the top-European regions when it relates to design. By being part of Design Days 2026 we will invite you to present essential design initiatives going on in your region.
Design Days break borders between different sectors. Several speeches, breakout sessions and networking opportunities offer the chance to share experiences, elaborate on challenges and learn about each other’s success stories. By doing so the EU Design Days format organically creates a unique platform where researchers and designers come together with stakeholders, policy-makers and SMEs from regions all over Europe.
This distinctive concept enables all participants to walk away with not only new contacts and possible new partners, but also with valuable input to tackle current challenges in an integrated manner.
The New European Bauhaus & Creativity Working Group
The event is an initiative of the ERRIN New European Bauhaus & Creativity Working Group, which supports the development and implementation of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) in line with the latest EU policies and the NEB Communication, placing design and creativity at the core of the initiative. It follows EU-level NEB developments while showcasing concrete local and regional activities that demonstrate how design- and creativity-driven approaches can deliver sustainable, inclusive and beautiful solutions in practice, helping to build momentum towards a stronger and more actionable NEB across Europe.
