In recent years, thanks in particular to the New European Bauhaus, there has been a growing political awareness of the positive contribution that a high-quality built environment can make to the common good. The New European Bauhaus invites us collectively to reimagine our living spaces to make them more sustainable, inclusive and beautiful and to create enabling conditions for the green transition. It also promotes greater collaboration between stakeholders of the buildings and construction sector, rightly emphasising that a transdisciplinary approach is a prerequisite for high-quality places.

This conference will aim to:

• showcase how the architectural and engineering professions create resilient design, in line with the New European Bauhaus ambitions;

• explore challenges they face and innovative tools that can support their collaboration;

• highlight the specificities of the procurement of design services and make concrete recommendations for the revision of the EU Public Procurement Directive, so that it can best support high-quality design in Europe.

Simultaneous English-French translation will be provided.
