General Information Scientific and Technological Background
The New European Bauhaus (NEB), launched to contribute to the European Union’s goals of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 and reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, aims to support the green transition through culture, art, and creativity, while integrating circular economy principles and sustainability practices into the built environment.
Action Zones (Optional)
As an environmental, social, and cultural initiative, the NEB is guided by three core values:
Sustainability: From climate goals to circularity, zero pollution, and the protection of biodiversity,
Aesthetics: Considering all aspects beyond functionality, from design to quality of experience, lifestyle, and well-being,
Inclusion: Valuing diversity and ensuring that it is equal, accessible, and affordable for everyone
