NEB.Teams

Support funding for EU application in the NEB initiative

The aim of the NEB.Teams funding line is to promote interdisciplinary, cross-faculty collaboration at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar and to provide targeted support for the preparation of selected applications in the EU initiative "New European Bauhaus" (NEB). To this end, researchers will be provided guidance and support via a newly created support offer tailored to respond to the specific challenges of EU proposal writing.

Funding for interdisciplinary teams to prepare an EU application within the framework of the NEB initiative.

  • Funding of two 50 % positions for 6 months. The funding period starts in September 2023.
  • The maximum funding amount is 40,000 €, eligible costs are personnel, material and travel costs (see also section 7).
  • Eligible for funding are employees of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar working in science, art or design who form interdisciplinary teams of 2 people each, preferably from different faculties.

Active support of interdisciplinary teams in EU application procedures via:

  • Advice on proposal preparation by the scientific coordination NEB in regular meetings (on e.g. project structure, time & financial plans, proposal review),
  • Linking the application teams with NEB partners from the European network (universities and regional partners from business, politics, culture and society),
  • Presentation of the European NEB programme coordination and the associated networks, joint workshop in Brussels (October 2023),
  • Joint workshop for the successful application of EU projects at a European partner university (November 2023).

The funds are not to be used for the direct implementation of research projects and projects, but serve as start-up funding for the preparation of proposals in the following selected EU calls:

New European Bauhaus – Innovative solutions for greener and fairer ways of life through arts and culture, architecture and design for all

  • HORIZON-CL2-2024-HERITAGE-01-01 (Dedicated Call, IA)
  • DESTINATION: INNOVATIVE RESEARCH ON EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE AND CULTURAL AND CREATIVE INDUSTRIES - BUILDING OUR FUTURE FROM THE PAST
  • Call opens in October 2023, Deadline 7.02.2024
  • Lump Sum Funding 16 Mio.€ financing 3 projects with up to 5 Mio.€

Proposals should test, demonstrate and refine innovative solutions to achieve strategic investments in cultural heritage and cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in the spirit of the New European Bauhaus initiative. They are expected to bring together researchers, practitioners, managers and entrepreneurs from different cultural and creative industries as well as to engage with the communities on the ground. Proposals should tackle at least one of the thematic axes of the New European Bauhaus. They should include an ambitious and credible executive plan that:

  • Identifies and analyses the challenges and resources of the targeted spaces in terms of the three core values of the New European Bauhaus.
  • Proposes a set of strategies and methodologies to address the challenges identified, considering the wide variety of actors involved.
  • Foresees the development and implementation of an ambitious, quality co-design process, based on citizens' and stakeholders' participation, inter-disciplinary, and multi-level collaboration.

They should highlight the social value of cultural heritage and cultural diversity. The proposed solutions should consider:

  • Use of renewable materials (e.g. nature-based materials produced sustainably) with a circular economy mind-set
  • Role of arts, design and quality architecture, in line with quality principles to leverage the full potential of cultural heritage and cultural landscapes
  • Synergies between crafts and new industrial techniques that can also help revitalising traditional skills
  • Regeneration, life extension (i.e. smart monitoring, conservation and restoration), re-use and transformation of cultural heritage buildings and landscapes, while ensuring attentive cultural interpretation of the original buildings and respecting their cultural contents and contexts.
