Summary
Forthcoming EU call topic HORIZON-NEB-2027-01-PARTICIPATION-03 · HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-NEB-2027-01: Innovative models for neighbourhoods that integrate beauty, inclusiveness and sustainability. Opens 2027-05-05; next deadline 2027-12-01. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-NEB-2027-01-PARTICIPATION-03
Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: - The scientific community, public authorities and neighbourhood[1] actors have a better understanding of social issues that influence the green transition[1] in neighbourhoods thanks to novel, transdisciplinary[1] combinations of knowledge and research methods. - Robust evidence resulting from novel, transdisciplinary combinations of knowledge and research methods informs decision-making, policymaking, design and planning, and/or public service design for the green transition of neighbourhoods, including their nature-positive[4] transformation. - Skills transfer among the scientific community and non-scientific actors involved in planning and implementing the green transition at the neighbourhood level.
Scope: Social challenges (e.g. access to affordable housing, energy poverty, access to quality green spaces) impact the quality of life, health and well-being of individuals and communities[1] in neighbourhoods and influence how inhabitants experience and engage with the green transition. Advancing the green transition requires approaches that consider these varied experiences and ensure fairness and inclusion of all. However, the know-how of local communities and other non-scientific actors remains underexplored when it comes to generating and/or validating solutions to advance the green transition. This topic focuses on innovative approaches for combining knowledge from local communities and non-scientific actors with scientific knowledge…

- Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
- Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
- Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
