It is well documented that the cultural and creative sectors (CCS) can play a vital role in the green transition of European society. Innovation policies and funding instruments can empower the CCS to fulfill this role. One significant initiative in this context is the New European Bauhaus (NEB), an interdisciplinary EU flagship project that seeks to connect the EU Green Deal with the everyday living spaces and experiences of citizens. The NEB highlights the competencies of the CCS as crucial assets for building a more sustainable future and mobilises several EU research & innovation funding instruments to support (CCS) actors to create “a beautiful, sustainable and inclusive future”. Below is a selection of linked practical tools and support initiatives for NEB.
The European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Community New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative connects innovation networks within the EU to its vision of sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetically pleasing living spaces. By funding and supporting initiatives such as Ignite NEB and Grow NEB, it helps turn ideas into concrete projects, fostering collaboration at both regional and national levels.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Checklist is a compact tool that helps assess how built environment projects align with the NEB values and principles. Tailored to small-sized projects, it also supports the preliminary screening of larger ones and helps in their early-stage preparation in line with NEB.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Compass is a guiding framework for decision and project makers wishing to apply the NEB principles and criteria to their activities.

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative connects the European Green Deal to our daily lives and living spaces. It calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. The NEB Impact Model is developed to support the implementation and follow-up of the NEB principles on the ground.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Investment Guidelines explain how and why to apply the New European Bauhaus core values and working principles in built environment projects, and in particular buildings, open spaces, and neighbourhoods.
By Creating Actionable Futures (CrAFt)
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Pocket Guide is envisioned as a practical tool for cities looking to bring meaningful climate-positive change. The guide emphasises the importance of collaborative governance, and provides practical steps, research-based insights, and inspiring examples to help cities engage with diverse stakeholder groups.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Self-Assessment Method is a groundbreaking, multidisciplinary, comprehensive and synergistic approach for the evaluation of projects and activities under the NEB values, principles and ambitions.
The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Toolbox is a collection of tools for public authorities that can be leveraged while planning and designing New European Bauhaus projects.
