Taking place on 9–13 June 2026 in Brussels and worldwide through Satellite events, the Festival is the flagship event of the New European Bauhaus – a moment to showcase work, share creativity, and connect with changemakers across Europe.
Three calls for applications are currently open:
- FAIR – a laboratory and exhibition highlighting projects and prototypes that embody the NEB values. Deadline: 15 October 2025
- FEST – a celebration of culture, art, and conviviality, embracing freedom of expression and innovative ideas. Deadline: 15 October 2025
- Satellite events – initiatives organised independently in Brussels and beyond, aligned with NEB values. Deadline: 31 December 2025
Visit the main page for the NEB Festival 2025 including application forms for all three opportunities above. At the bottom of this page you can also find recordings from the NEB Festival 2024.
The European Commission also held two very helpful Info Days recently to walk prospective applicants through common questions about applying for the small EC grants above under either the FAIR or FEST strand of the competitions. If there are further questions after watching either of these please contact: EC-New-European-Bauhaus@ec.europa.eu
Successful applicants are due to be notified on 15 December.
