The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) is a service provided by the European Commission with the aim to help technology providers proposing innovative, green technologies verify their solutions and provide a quality stamp. The ETV process takes the technology through a third-party validation, which assesses the performance of the technology based on independent and credible information using the internationally standards. The end product is an ETV Statement of Verification published on the ETV website and used in business-to-business relations. This enables technology owners to document the reliability of their claims and differentiate them from competitors, and it helps technology purchasers identify innovations that suit their needs.

The EIT Circular Economy Community launches a call to support companies in obtaining the ETV. The call is open until 31.05.2022 (23:59 CEST).

The present EIT Community call for projects aims to resolve challenges that the cities, peri-urban and rural areas face, focusing on New European Bauhaus (NEB) challenges innovation and action in public spaces through citizen engagement in their re-designing. The call will identify inspirational, beautiful, sustainable and inclusive project proposals, demonstrating new solutions that boost the transformation of cities, peri-urban and rural areas by bringing individuals and communities closer to nature, bringing sense of belonging, addressing the needs of territories, communities that needed specific attention, and transforming value chains and life of materials towards circularity.

We are inviting participation by partner organizations of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus (partners of EIT Climate-KIC, EIT Digital, EIT Food, EIT Manufacturing and EIT Urban Mobility) that can prove capability and/or experience in hosting hackathons, as well as mission alignment to New European Bauhaus principles through past projects or current activities, and organisational core values. In the inaugural New European Bauhaus Hackathons of 2022, we are looking for six hosts to co-organize and simultaneously host one New European Bauhaus hackathon each.  

This Call is open in this edition only to EIT Community New European Bauhaus partners as this is the first ever New European Bauhaus Hackathons. The activity is therefore operating as a pilot that will support the consolidation of a model to be iterated in the next years. As a result, for this year’s opportunity the EIT Community New European Bauhaus is working only with partners of their ecosystem that have already proved experience and engagement with the New European Bauhaus. The subsequent following calls to be issued as from 2023, once the model is consolidated, will be open to partners and non-partners.

Call closing on 6th June 2022.
