TG1 is the main target group of institutions that can become members/partners and contributors of the NEBA. Based on the ‘train-the-trainers’ approach, they will be direct users of NEBA training courses and materials, and they will thus reach the other TGs 2, 3 & 4 within their national and regional setting. Contents are co-created to suit specific needs of their users.
1.1 Higher education and universities
1.2 VET centres and professional schools
1.3 Other training providers, e.g., specialised companies, associations, networks, clusters, living labs, makers spaces, technological hubs.
New European Bauhaus Academy
The NEB Academy is poised to spearhead skill development for the Renovation Wave by engaging key stakeholders in construction, engineering, architecture, and planning. By connecting educators and trainers, the Academy aims to ensure a widespread impact across the entire construction ecosystem.
Need
Accounting for around 40% of GHG emissions from building operations and an additional 10-20% from embodied emissions, the construction sector is one of the major contributors to the climate crisis, making it a priority target for the green transformation.
The urgency of the climate crisis requires accelerating the transfer and adoption of climate change mitigation knowledge and capabilities to workers, businesses, policy makers, and the public.
The need for skilled workers and educated professionals is a significant bottleneck for rethinking the built environment and the construction ecosystem and transform it towards a regenerative model.

Mission
The New European Bauhaus Academy (NEBA), a flagship initiative of the European Commission on skills for sustainable construction, accelerates the up- and re-skilling of the current and future workforce to transition to a resilient domestic building construction sector.
“NEB Academy’s mission is to train, upskill, and reskill the construction ecosystem to achieve a carbon neutral building sector and a beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive transformation of the built environment.”
The main goal is to unlock the decisive potential of the decarbonisation of the built environment by a major transformation. The ambition is to establish NEBA as the European point of reference for skills and knowledge on bio-based, circular and digital solutions in construction.

I welcome the New European Bauhaus Academy Alliance, a powerhouse of 14 European partners, ready to launch its EU-wide training network. It will be a solid support for Europe's construction industry, addressing labour shortages and promoting knowledge sharing including on sustainable bio-based solutions, like the circular use of wood and other innovative materials.
The New European Bauhaus is about bringing the European Green Deal to our living spaces. To make it a success, we need to equip our construction sector with the skills and knowledge it needs to tap into the potential of sustainable solutions. This is where the NEB Academy will make a difference.
I welcome the New European Bauhaus Academy Alliance which, through its diverse expertise across the EU, will address skill gaps in the sustainable and circular construction sector and create better employment opportunities at the regional and national level, while promoting high-quality and inclusiveness in construction.
Training
Offering training via a digital platform and applying innovative pedagogies will be useful in attracting young talent and professionals from other disciplines to the construction sector. The availability of digital training materials will help ensure learners and trainers in both cities and rural areas across EU regions have access to the same high-quality materials.
Trust in the training contents and their quality will be ensured through NEBA Alliance certification. NEBA will set a new benchmark for the quality and availability of training raising the bar for other training providers. The long-term and sustainable NEBA model for providing training can be extended to and replicated in other domains.
Over time, the up- and re-skilling of workers will accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment and reduce GHG emissions from buildings.

Providing training for actors all across the construction ecosystem, and spread all around Europe, will help increase the use of biomaterials and ensure more people have access to healthy, beautiful buildings for work, living, and learning.
Target Groups
TG1 - Education, training and academia
TG2 – Construction ecosystem, private sector
TG2 comprises the main beneficiaries of the NEBA trainings, notably workers and employees in SMEs and mid-caps, and other professionals in the construction ecosystem. It includes several diverse subgroups, which each will be addressed specifically. The training materials used require targeted contents and suitable formats in respect to educational levels and goals, notably to transfer usable skills and knowledge on biobased, digital and circular solutions.
2.1 Construction industries and contractors
2.2 Developers and investors
2.3 Architects, engineers, and designers
2.4 Biobased/bioeconomy industries
2.5 Creative and Cultural heritage sector
2.6 Industry associations and federations
2.7 Financial sector, investors
2.8 Others: Suppliers, related industries

TG3 - Public bodies and policy makers
TG3 includes decision makers and supporting organisations that create the enabling environment for the transition of the built environment. They require specific training formats with less ‘practical’ content and technical detail, but relevant information for decision processes about benefits and advantages of biobased, digital and sustainability solutions.
3.1 Public decision-makers and planners, regions, and cities
3.2 Legislators, national/ regional ministries, and governments
3.3 Standardisation bodies
3.4 Funding organisations
