New European Bauhaus Rising Stars 2023

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative calls on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls. By creating bridges between different backgrounds, cutting across disciplines and building on participation at all levels, the New European Bauhaus inspires a movement to facilitate and steer the transformation of our societies according to three inseparable values:
• sustainability, from climate goals, to circularity, zero pollution, and biodiversity;
• inclusion, from valuing diversity, to securing accessibility and affordability;
• aesthetics and quality of experience for people, through design, positive emotions and cultural benefits.

The European Commission launched the initiative in late 2020 to bring communities together and connect the European Green Deal to our daily lives and living spaces.

The first two editions of the New European Bauhaus Prizes in 2021 and 2022 demonstrated that local communities can come together and find creative solutions that improve our lives. In the last two years, the Prizes rewarded excellence and creativity in implementing the New European Bauhaus and highlighted outstanding projects, ideas and concepts (over 3,000 applications were received in total) that further inspired the development of the initiative.

As in 2022, the 2023 Prizes will be awarded in four categories which are based on the thematic axes of transformation that guide the delivery of the New European Bauhaus 1:
• Reconnecting with nature
• Regaining a sense of belonging
• Prioritising the places and people that need it the most and
• The need for long-term, life-cycle thinking in the industrial ecosystem.
