How can students and lecturers engage with the New European Bauhaus? 

NEB Summer School 

NTNU is hosting the first New European Bauhaus Summer School in 2026: Designing Regenerative Neighbourhoods - New European Bauhaus and Technological Competitiveness. This is a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) for master student and PhD candidate participants from across the Enhance Alliance and beyond. Read more here. 

NEB Academy 

Across Europe universities are using NEB as a framework to augment and develop innovative learning offers which encompass creative, transdisciplinary approaches, multi-stakeholder collaborations and local community participation. The NEB compass and NEB aligned projects can provide inspiration for innovative, self-determined pedagogical approaches.  Through the new NEB Academy there is an evolving framework for building competence and capacity in NEB aligned learning offers, beginning with the built and living environment as a focus. 

The New European Bauhaus is about bringing the European Green Deal to our living spaces. To make it a success, we need to equip our construction sector with the skills and knowledge it needs to tap into the potential of sustainable solutions. This is where the NEB Academy will make a difference.

NEB-STAR 

This pan-European NEB demonstrator partnership of 16 organisations, including NTNU, ran from 2023-2025, with Stavanger as one of the demonstration cities. NEB-STAR created a portfolio of tools and project examples to inspire both teaching staff and schools in both secondary and further education. The booklet offers methods, solutions and models to use for planning and creating your own NEB projects. These include: 

• Project examples which can be used as inspiration for planning further innovative learning and research for EVU, Bachelor, Master and PhD level. 
• Case studies for working with external stakeholders, schools, communities, industry and local organisations. 

Future opportunities for student engagement: 

• NEB provides both a common framework for the design of learning offers and opportunities for project funding.  
• For example, multi-stakeholder transdisciplinary and participatory research projects can include student engagement in short pilots, living labs, Micro-Creditional offers and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) offers. 
• Additionally, the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) also has NEB aligned funding calls. 
• Student and staff mobility: opportunities for pan-European exchange with other universities as part of these funding opportunities.
