We are looking for innovation projects that produce proposals for what the attractive living environments of the future can look like. Innovation projects must have a system perspective and address more perspectives linked to the physical environment. Needs owners must be involved and the projects linked to concrete physical locations. We demand project that can produce models, sketches and prototypes connected to physical places in cities and communities.
With this call for proposals, Vinnova wants to enable actors to take hold of the new ideas and conditions that have been created through the societal crisis that has been going on since March 2020 and take advantage of them to create a more sustainable, attractive and resilient society.
The corona pandemic has highlighted weaknesses and injustices in society, among organizations and in systems. Innovation and developed knowledge are needed to solve societal challenges such as ongoing climate change, growing social gaps but also to meet trends such as changing consumption patterns and behaviors. The pandemic has opened a window of opportunity to rethink how we humans want to live, live and move in society, but also how we design, build, manage and use our built environment.
Behavioral changes such as increased online shopping, homework and even demographic changes such as new migration patterns already existed before the pandemic but are now even more relevant. The pandemic also shows that a rapid change in policy, behavior, movement patterns and new, innovative use of our built environment is possible. Examples are
Within the same walls, street spaces and outdoor environments, there is now a completely different existence for many people.
The call is partly inspired by the EU initiative New European Bauhaus: beautiful, sustainable, together. (europa.eu)
