New European Bauhaus Alliance (NEBA)

The main purpose of the New European Bauhaus Academy Alliance project is to codesign the foundation of a long-lasting European network of NEB  Academy Hubs, which can reach workers and stakeholders across all EU countries and offer meaningful trainings and knowledge transfer, and form the NEB Academy. NEB Academy’s long-term mission is to train, upskill, and reskill the construction ecosystem to achieve a carbon neutral building sector and a beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive transformation of the built environment.

The New European Bauhaus Academy(NEBA) is a flagship initiative of the European Commission, focused on fostering skills for sustainable construction. The shortage of skilled workers and educated professionals represents a significant bottleneck in transforming the construction ecosystem into a regenerative model. 

‍The New European Bauhaus Academy aims to accelerate the transfer and adoption of knowledge and capabilities among workers, businesses, policymakers, and the public. Its mission is to train, upskill, and reskill the current and future workforce in the construction sector, driving a carbon-neutral, beautiful, and inclusive transformation of the built environment.

The NEBA Alliance project is coordinated by University of Primorska and involves 14 partners from 11 different EU countries. The specific objectives of the NEBA Alliance are:

• To initiate and codesign the NEB Academy with an international Alliance of relevant educational actors and training providers;
• To establish and onboard a group of leading NEBA Hubs and initiate training activities;
• To build up the Community of Practice (CoP) and set the foundation for a Skills Agenda and Policy Roadmap;
• To attract the target groups to the CoP through dissemination, exploitation, and outreach.
