Supporting new models for fashion
EIT Culture & Creativity has launched the NEB Academy Fashion Shift call to support circular, regenerative and responsible fashion business models.
The call is aimed at existing businesses, pilots, initiatives or proven concepts that are ready to be developed, deployed or scaled through collaboration. It focuses on alternatives to fast fashion and on solutions that reflect the New European Bauhaus values of sustainability, inclusion and beauty.
Who can apply
Applications must be submitted by consortia of four to six independent legal entities from at least two eligible countries.
Each consortium must include an independent fashion brand, a research institution, a public authority or innovation or industry cluster, and one fashion value-chain partner.
Funding available
The call has an estimated total budget of €2.5 million. Selected projects may receive up to €500,000, with around five to six projects expected to be funded.
Projects should show clear potential for market deployment, value-chain collaboration, stakeholder engagement and replication in other European contexts.
Key dates
An information webinar will take place on 8 July 2026 from 10am to 12.30pm CEST.
Applications are open until 31 August 2026 at 5pm CEST. Selected projects are expected to start in January 2027 and end in May 2028.
Apply
Interested organisations can find the call documents, application form and support information on the EIT Culture & Creativity call page: https://eit-culture-creativity.eu/your-opportunities/calls-funding/neb-academy-fashion-shift
