About
We are looking to join Horizon Europe New European Bauhaus consortia as a partner responsible for stakeholder engagement, co-creation, citizen participation and collaborative governance.
Our added value lies in connecting public authorities, researchers, civil society, businesses and local communities to co-design innovative, people-centred solutions and ensure their successful implementation and long-term impact. We have extensive experience facilitating multi-stakeholder processes, building strategic alliances, designing participatory methodologies and translating collective knowledge into policy recommendations and practical action.
We are particularly interested in collaborating on projects related to neighbourhood regeneration, affordable and sustainable housing, social infrastructure, urban proximity, community well-being and the adaptive reuse of spaces. However, our expertise is transversal and can support a wide range of NEB topics.
We are open to contributing as Work Package leader or task leader for stakeholder engagement, citizen participation, co-creation, communication and dissemination, policy uptake, replication strategies and ecosystem building. We are also interested in supporting pilot implementation and ensuring meaningful collaboration between local communities and project partners throughout the project lifecycle.
We welcome partnerships with research organisations, universities, cities, public authorities, SMEs, NGOs and other organisations committed to delivering ambitious, impactful and scalable NEB projects.
