NEB hackathons will reward most innovative solutions.

EIT Community New European Bauhaus partners will be hosting six hackathons across September and October to support innovative solutions to key challenges faced by communities across Europe.

Hosted across six major cities, the events will bring together students, start-ups, non-profits and researchers to collaborate on projects that envision solutions to four challenge areas:

  • Reconnecting with nature.
  • Regaining a sense of belonging.
  • Prioritising the places and people that need it most.
  • Fostering long-term cycle and integrated thinking in the industrial ecosystem.

Teams will collaborate on ideas that embody the New European Bauhaus values of beauty, sustainability and inclusivity and for each challenge area, one team will win a EUR 10 000 voucher to test and prototype their solution in a New European Bauhaus Makerspace. A Makerspace allows idea-holders to develop their solution into concrete goods or services, i.e., taking it to the prototype stage that can be tested with focus groups.

A special “NEB for Peace” award category will award ideas that address the impact of the war on Ukraine, with the chance to win a prize of EUR 3 000.
