Building Inclusive, Sustainable and Resilient Communities through Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Senior Lecturer at University of the West of England, Bristol

United Kingdom

About

We are seeking collaborative opportunities under the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Facility 2026 to develop impactful, interdisciplinary projects that support sustainable, inclusive, and aesthetically meaningful transformations of communities and the built environment. Our expertise spans sustainable construction, resilient infrastructure, low-carbon materials, healthy buildings, digital innovation, and community-centred research, with a strong focus on delivering practical and policy-relevant outcomes.

Our research and engagement activities align closely with the core NEB values of sustainability, inclusion, and beauty. We are particularly interested in projects addressing themes such as climate-resilient neighbourhoods, healthy and energy-efficient indoor environments, circular construction practices, digital technologies for sustainable infrastructure, social inclusion, and citizen-centred urban transformation. We also have experience in participatory and co-creation approaches involving local communities, public-sector organisations, industry, and international partners.

We are looking to connect with universities, municipalities, SMEs, NGOs, cultural and creative organisations, housing associations, and public-sector stakeholders interested in building strong Horizon Europe consortia. We can contribute through interdisciplinary research expertise, stakeholder engagement, impact and dissemination activities, policy engagement, international collaboration, workshop and training delivery, and evidence-based approaches to sustainable and inclusive innovation.

We welcome discussions with potential partners interested in co-developing ambitious NEB Facility proposals that create measurable environmental, social, and societal impact across Europe and beyond.
