NEB Junction: A platform to accelerate sustainable transformation across Europe

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) Junction is an European knowledge platform set to accelerate sustainable transformation. 

NEB Junction will be the dedicated hub for results and impact of the initiative. Its aim is to make it easier for cities, communities, and change-makers to connect, get inspired, and take action, all in line with the vision of the New European Bauhaus. 

Since 2021, hundreds of projects have emerged under the NEB banner. Many have been directly driven by local communities and grassroots actors seeking to transform their environments. This extensive work has, in turn, generated a wealth of knowledge. NEB Junction is precisely positioned to capture, collate, and package this knowledge to support the widespread uptake of NEB solutions and facilitate a just transition across Europe.

NEB Junction will translate the NEB vision of a more inclusive, sustainable, and beautiful Europe, into practical and impactful outcomes. At the core lies a dynamic and user-centred online platform. This platform will collect, curate, and share validated NEB stakeholder insights, thereby boosting wider impact and learning.

As an open platform, it will offer practical, actionable, and inspirational content, where users can:

• Explore Knowledge Gems – curated insights and solutions from real-world projects
• Join assemblies and workshops and connect with practitioners across Europe
• Access practical guidance to launch their own initiatives, through tools, reports, and policy recommendations
• Connect with others – from artists and architects to municipalities and urban developers
• Bridge impact metrics across environmental, social, health, governance, and cultural and creative aspects to support the uptake of NEB solutions

The NEB Junction is a game-changer. It empowers anyone looking to make a tangible difference in their community. It breaks down silos and provides direct access to proven solutions, ultimately fostering a more beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive Europe
