Addressing homelessness through housing-led approaches aligned with the New European Bauhaus
Structurally addressing homelessness through coordinated social infrastructure and services in neighbourhoods
The New European Bauhaus invites proposals addressing homelessness through coordinated social infrastructure and services. The call focuses on how neighbourhoods, built environments, healthcare, education, employment and community services can work together to promote inclusion, wellbeing and belonging. It encourages interdisciplinary approaches that bring together architecture, urban design, social services, local communities and policymakers to develop inclusive and resilient neighbourhoods. Projects must develop and validate solutions in at least five neighbourhoods.
The call has a €10.5 million total budget, with approximately €3.5 million expected per project.
Deadline: 1 December 2026, 17:00 (CET)
Approaches to reuse vacant, obsolete or underutilised spaces
The New European Bauhaus has launched a Horizon Europe call seeking innovative approaches to the reuse of vacant, obsolete or underutilised spaces.

Jacques Rougerie Foundation — International Architecture and Innovation Competition 2026
This is one of the most visionary architecture competitions because it does not focus only on buildings; it asks designers to imagine new ways of inhabiting extreme environments by combining architecture, science, technology, and living systems.
Prospective → visionary long-term architectural concepts
LAB → experimental projects with potential for development or prototyping
Deadline: 24 September 2026 (Paris time)
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Measurable increase in the number of tools and solutions at district or city level ;
Measurable reduction of material use and an increase of reuse and recycling in the construction ;
Measurable reduction in the energy and other resources use and the whole life-cycle GHG emissions of buildings.
Entries open until 8 October 2026, 17:00 (CEST)
