Digital Solutions in Support of the New European Bauhaus Initiative

Outcomes and deliverables

A map of the European framework for the ecosystem of digital solutions and services relevant for projects implementing New European Bauhaus initiative, covering technological and organisational innovation and addressing the needs of the involved stakeholders, and including those of SMEs and start-ups.

Creation of a network that facilitates interactions between digital and New European Bauhaus stakeholders. The network will organise at least five workshops and meetings with a representative sample of New European Bauhaus stakeholders, digital stakeholders as well as representatives from projects identified in the first work strand of the action. The workshops, meetings and events will foster the exchange of good practices at pan-European level and identify how the digital transformation can contribute to the implementation of the new European Bauhaus Initiative.

The project will identify digital solutions that could contribute to the implementation of the New European Bauhaus initiative and more broadly of the adoption of its values (sustainability, inclusiveness, and aesthetics) in living spaces for a better quality of life. This action will support better coordination of relevant New European Bauhaus stakeholders and digital stakeholders through the creation of a network to this purpose. The project will further accelerate the deployment of projects implementing the New European Bauhaus initiative, and identify best practices in relevant EU funded digital projects.

The Coordination and Support action will have three main work strands:

• Map relevant projects, policies, strategies and funding instruments supporting the uptake of digital solutions and services relevant for the implementation of the New European Bauhaus initiative. Particular focus will be set on identifying and disseminating projects and outcomes supported by programmes such as Horizon 2020, CEF Telecom, Creative Europe, Structural Funds projects, etc. in particular by exploring specific use cases. The mapping will also refer to the use of the necessary data and information resources to be shared in the context of the Data Spaces in section 2.1 of this Work Programme;
• Creation of a pan-European network to promote European excellence in New European Bauhaus -related innovation by bringing together designers, architects, artists, managers, business actors including start-ups/SMEs in particular from the building, mobility and health sector, with other relevant actors such as technology providers, industry associations and investors, policymakers, experts and NGOs, and linking this network to other existing pan-European networks. The network will host a series of workshops, meetings and events building on the mapping referred to in the first work strand for a better coordination of their activities towards the achievement of the New European Bauhaus targets. The action will also identify and support cooperation activities between the New European Bauhaus communities to exchange best practises, analyse successful applications of digital technologies and potential market uptake of digital solutions in support of the initiative;
• Stimulate mutual learning and transfer of innovative practices between regions and Member States, with a view to encourage large scale deployment of digital solutions and services that are critical for the development of New European Bauhaus projects, facilitate benchmarking, impact assessment and knowledge sharing between stakeholders. In this endeavour, focus will be on giving valuable input for the future deployment of New European Bauhaus projects making use of European key digital capacities. To this purpose, the consortia will collaborate with the specific Digital Innovation Hubs (deployed in the context of the Digital Europe Programme) whose activities are relevant for the implementation of the New European Bauhaus initiative.
