Localised and Urban Manufacturing, supporting creativity and the New European Bauhaus (RIA using FSTP)
This funding program, under Horizon Europe, supports innovative Research and Innovation Actions focused on transforming manufacturing towards localised and urban models. It specifically integrates the principles of the New European Bauhaus to foster creativity, human-centric design, and sustainability, aiming to develop flexible, resilient, and community-engaged production systems.
Who is Funded for Localised & Urban Manufacturing
The primary goal of this program is to foster the design and demonstration of symbiotic and sustainable factories for decentralised, local, and urban manufacturing, aligning with the New European Bauhaus concept. This initiative aims to enhance flexibility, resilience, and urban transformation while minimizing transport costs and environmental impacts. It seeks to develop regenerative concepts, promote human-centric and participatory approaches with contributions from Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH), raise the appeal of manufacturing careers, and improve SME access to flexible production capabilities in decentralised environments. Ultimately, the program contributes to a human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies, supporting social innovation and inclusivity within Europe's green and digital transitions.
