Description
Within the framework of this European funding call, research and innovation consortia are sought that, together with citizens, develop and test forward-looking neighborhood visions in line with the New European Bauhaus. Participatory foresight approaches for analyzing long-term socioeconomic, demographic, climatic, and cultural trends in existing urban districts will be funded. Based on this inventory, participants jointly create scenarios and guiding principles with measurable goals and action packages that ensure intergenerational fairness and inclusion. A special focus is placed on co-creation formats in which local experts, civil society groups, and marginalized populations collaboratively contribute their ideas. At least three independent partner institutions from EU Member States or associated countries must demonstrate their expertise in social, climate, and urban research and provide sufficient personnel and financial capacities. Applications can be submitted until December 1, 2027; project start is possible from May 2027 onwards.
The funding rate is 100% of eligible costs, and the duration of the research and innovation projects is set at 36 months. The total budget per project is up to €3.5 million. Eligible applicants include public and educational institutions, companies, and non-profit organizations wishing to work in transdisciplinary consortia on the enhancement of existing neighborhoods through sustainable, aesthetic, and social interventions. Funding covers, among others, personnel, travel, and material costs for events, co-creation workshops, as well as publication costs. Retroactive costs and real estate acquisitions are excluded. Selection is based on the degree of innovation, potential for neighborhood development, and consortium structure. A detailed project description, financing plan, CVs of key personnel, and an ethics self-assessment are required for the application.
