Setting up a New European Bauhaus hub for results and impact -

Proposals are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

A ‘New European Bauhaus hub for results and impacts’ is required to collect, centralise, manage, monitor and exploit the knowledge produced by the NEB projects, the NEB Community and other relevant NEB actions (e.g. projects resulting from EU-funded calls dedicated to NEB across the different EU programmes, NEB Lab) while also ensuring cooperation and collaboration between them. By having an overview of all the knowledge produced, the progress made, the challenges faced and the research gaps yet to overcome, the hub will be an agile instrument that will contribute to informing the implementation of the NEB Facility and will help to increase its impact. Ultimately, it will contribute to advancing the objectives of the NEB in a coherent manner.

It will cover all the disciplines relevant for NEB and reflect the transversal, holistic nature of the initiative.

Proposals are expected to address all of the following:

The consortium is expected to develop and provide a method and plan detailing how the New European Bauhaus Hub for results and impacts will be operated, kept up-to-date and adapted to emerging needs. It will also ensure that the hub developed uses European Commission's IT tools such as the Open EUROPA Drupal platform[2] and complies with the Europa Component Library[3], the NEB visual identity and the Commission's accessibility and usability rules. The consortium will also ensure that the Commission can access the back office of the hub's system and that the latter can be transferred to another consortium or the Commission at the end of the project. The project is expected to last at least two years.

Proposals should demonstrate how they will secure the necessary knowledge and expertise in areas relevant for the NEB[4].

Additional transversal areas would also be relevant: research and innovation, monitoring & evaluation; (innovation) procurement; advocacy, communications & citizen engagement; digital services, artificial intelligence, machine learning and use of data; knowledge translation, innovation and evidence-informed policymaking.
