Description

This grant, under the Horizon Europe programme, supports the development and demonstration of innovative solutions for the mass customisation of offsite manufactured modular construction components, aiming to transform the existing built environment in line with New European Bauhaus (NEB) values. Projects should leverage technologies such as distributed manufacturing, building information modelling (BIM), and modular construction approaches to create adaptable, efficient, and locally relevant renovation solutions. Demonstrations are required in at least three EU Member States or Associated Countries and must cover at least three application areas (e.g., residential, commercial, public space, cultural heritage, education, recreation).

Proposals must evaluate the economic, aesthetic, environmental, social, and cultural value of their solutions and develop strategies for scalability and adaptation to various local contexts, considering long-term performance, durability, and repairability. A participatory, transdisciplinary approach involving social sciences and humanities (SSH) is required, with dedicated resources for sharing results and contributing to impact assessment through the NEB hub.
