Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Significantly higher awareness of the construction ecosystem actors about solutions that are inspired by vernacular knowledge[1], nature-based solutions[1], bioclimatic design and/or frugal innovation[1].The application of the developed solutions helps to achieve and maintain the thermal comfort in buildings while significantly reducing life cycle energy use, GHG emissions and costs compared to solutions that currently dominate the market. Scope:Reducing life cycle GHG emissions in buildings is key to meet the Green Deal’s objectives and make the built environment more sustainable[1]. However, achieving thermal comfort inside buildings with poor thermal resilience often relies on energy-intensive solutions, such as air conditioning which not only emits GHGs and represents significant ene...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Robust evidence on how inhabitants experience their neighbourhood[1] and the impact of these experiences on their health and well-being.The research informs policies, strategies, neighbourhood planning and procurement for the green transition[1] of neighbourhoods, including their nature-positive[3] transformation and climate resilience. Scope:Neighbourhoods are human-social constructs and environments. They are shaped by complex inter-connections and interdependencies of human and non-human actors in the natural and built environment[1] they comprise. An increasing body of research is looking at the relationship between people and the built environment, from neuro-architectural aspects of space to atmosphere and ambiance aspects in urban design and planning, influencing also the percepti...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Evidence of the structural social infrastructure[1] and services needed to address homelessness[1] at neighbourhood[1] level is made available to stakeholders involved in tackling homelessness.Improved availability and accessibility of key social infrastructure and services for homeless groups in the targeted neighbourhoods. Scope:Based on 2024 data, over 1.2 million people are estimated to experience homelessness in Europe[4], with a significant proportion (45%) of surveyed homeless individuals finding themselves in a situation of chronic homelessness for over two years[5].While housing-led approaches[1] are crucial to tackle homelessness, addressing the structural and multidimensional causes of homelessness also requires systemic interventions focusing on social infrastructure and serv...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Higher availability of innovative solutions for vertical space[1] use on the market. The application of innovative solutions for vertical space use allows for a more efficient use of the existing built environment[1] and provides green spaces and/or affordable housing in neighbourhoods[1]. Scope:The increased demand for housing and thus land can conflict with the need to preserve and restore nature and biodiversity in our neighbourhoods. Rethinking the way we use existing buildings and applying a smart and efficient use of space is thus crucial to limit urban sprawl.There is therefore a need to develop solutions that make use of the under-used and un-used vertical space above our streets and buildings. Urban vertical farming, community gardens on rooftops, vertical extensions and other a...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:An increased number of local authorities systematically identify and quantify vacant, obsolete or underutilised spaces for reuse in neighbourhoods[1] in a context-sensitive way to address local community[1] challenges and needs.Increase in renovated, renatured, or converted spaces that address local community challenges and needs. Scope:Europe’s housing needs, inefficient use of the existing building stock, environmental commitments, and the EU’s goal of “no net land take” by 2050 make a compelling case for reusing the significant number of existing spaces, including buildings and infrastructure, that are vacant, obsolete or underutilised. In Europe, there are, for instance, an estimated 19,000 km² of underutilised brownfield land and 300 km² of vacant or underutilised office space[3].Th...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Extended service life and reduced life cycle environmental impacts of existing buildings, contributing to a more sustainable[1] built environment[1]. Easier application and more frequent use of predictive maintenance in existing buildings. Scope:Prolonging the lifespan and improving the performance of existing buildings are among key strategies to decrease new construction rates, which will help reduce the extraction of raw materials, manufacturing of new construction products, generating less waste and thus reducing GHG emissions and contributing to a more sustainable built environment. Recent legal and policy developments such as the recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) reinforce the importance of preserving and upgrading existing buildings as part of Europe’s climat...

Expected Outcome:Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:Project promoters, public authorities, and investors have a better understanding of the capital market demand and supply dynamics that underlie investments in projects fostering the transformation of neighbourhoods[1] in line with the New European Bauhaus (NEB).Increased investments towards NEB-aligned projects for the sustainable[1] and inclusive[1] transformation of neighbourhoods. Scope:Increased investment in projects for the transformation of neighbourhoods in line with the New European Bauhaus (NEB) may be hindered due to a discrepancy between the demand and supply of capital in terms of size, diversity, returns, and risk. Small-scale NEB-aligned projects typically encounter large, short-term oriented, and highly risk-averse investment funds, which seek investment opportunities abl...

The Archaeology Program administers an annual Archaeometry competition with a target date of December 1. The goal is to fund projects in two main categories: To develop or refine anthropologically relevant archaeometric techniques. Examples include the development of methods to identify specific types of organic residues on ceramics or development of field applicable analytic techniques. To support laboratories which provide relevant services. This includes support of service laboratories which, for example, may provide dating trace element, isotopic and dendrochronological analyses. It also includes support for data archives, which function to strengthen basic archaeological infrastructure. Projects which apply standard archaeometic techniques with the goal to answer specific archaeological questions should be submitted to the Archaeology SeniorResearch Awards competition. Proposals are evaluated by both ad hoc reviewers and a panel composed of individuals who combine both archaeological and archaeometric expertise.
