The call, launched by the European Institute of Innovation & Technology (EIT) Community NEB, is looking for projects that address challenges related to climate, mobility, food and manufacturing. Crucially, proposals must integrate the three core NEB values of sustainability, inclusivity and aesthetics.

Project applications should address at least one of the following thematic areas which could be of particular interest to rural stakeholders:

  • Reconnecting with nature;

  • Regaining a sense of community;

  • Prioritising places and the people that need them the most;

  • Fostering long-term, integrated thinking in the industrial ecosystem.

Up to eight projects will be selected with a maximum funding of EUR 15 000 per project and a minimum co-funding rate of 20%. 

For further information, join an online info session on 23 July 2024.
