Accessibility in Culture: Theory, Practices, and Institutions
Theoretical and applied models of cultural accessibility are analysed, including institutional frameworks and practices that enhance participation.
Knowledge, Research, and Disability: Methodologies and Scientific Paradigms
This axis explores how knowledge about disability is produced, who speaks, and through which research methodologies, with emphasis on critical and participatory approaches.
Culture, Democracy, and Rights: Disability in the Public Sphere
Disability is examined as an issue of democratic participation, cultural rights, and social activism.

Interested parties are invited to submit their proposals through the following link. The Call for Abstracts deadline is 31 March 2026.

The Festival of the New European Bauhaus
2026-06-09 - 2026-06-13
The European Commission is organising the third edition of the New European Bauhaus Festival in Brussels (Belgium) on 9-13 June 2026, and you can be part of it!
The NEB Festival 2026 will, among other topics, address the transformative power of democratic engagement in shaping more inclusive and sustainable communities. It will highlight how empowered citizens and local authorities can play an active role in creating their environments, with a particular emphasis on affordable housing as a cornerstone of democratic participation. In line with the NEB’s core vision, the Festival will be a space to reimagine our built environment, placing first life, then spaces, and then buildings.
The Festival encompasses four key pillars:

Forum – a platform for engaging discussions and the exchange of ideas surrounding the New European Bauhaus.
Fair – a laboratory and exhibition, highlighting projects and prototypes that align with and support the core values of the New European Bauhaus.
Fest – a celebration that unites culture, art, and conviviality, serving as a moment of collective rejoicing, honouring freedom of expression and embracing radical, innovative, and disruptive ideas and visions.
Satellite events – initiatives and events organised independently in Brussels and beyond, aligned with the New European Bauhaus values.

First held in 2022, the NEB Festival is a biennial event that invites people to celebrate and take stock of the progress of the New European Bauhaus, the European Commission initiative that aims to turn the European Green Deal and Clean Industrial Deal into tangible change on the ground, improving daily lives through sustainable solutions for the built environment and lifestyles. It combines sustainability with good design, inclusivity, accessibility, and affordability, respecting Europe’s diverse places, cultural heritage, and cultures.
Get involved and help shape the next Festival!
