The Enhance New European Bauhaus (NEB) Call for Partners 2025 offers a significant opportunity for projects previously funded under Connect NEB and Co-create NEB to expand their impact. This initiative supports scaling up or replicating solutions in new locations while reinforcing the core NEB values of sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion.

Who Can Apply?

The call is open to EIT Community NEB partners that ran a Connect NEB or Co-create NEB project in 2023 or 2024 and have not yet received Enhance NEB funding. Applications must come from consortia of 2–4 partners, with an EIT Community NEB partner as the lead. Cities, regions and affiliated entities can join as full partners or observers.

Eligible activities

Projects must focus on scaling up or replicating past achievements through:
- Outcome A: Expanding the project’s impact at its original location.
- Outcome B: Transferring activities to a new area (neighbourhood, city, region, etc.).

At least one of the following outputs must be delivered:
- Products and services (including rapid product prototypes).
- Public realm co-design.
- Social activation and educational activities.

A total of €180,000 is available, with up to €45,000 per project. EIT will fund up to 80%, with 20% co-funding required.

The deadline for applications is 22 April at 17:00.

A live info session is organised on 25 March at 11:30 to guide applicants.
