On 22 October 2026, the ENCATC Research Platform focused on the New European Bauhaus (NEB), which connects sustainability, inclusion and aesthetics by bringing together culture, creativity, research and innovation, and on the opportunities it opens for researchers and the ENCATC community. Elisa Grafulla and Federico Vaz presented current developments of the New European Bauhaus, upcoming calls and ways to get involved, including internships and other opportunities at the Joint Research Centre. A second part widened the view to other European initiatives, calls and collaborations, with contributions from Miruna Găman and Claudio Prandoni. Two rounds of audience questions and exchange gave participants direct access to the speakers.
