Formverk’s project “The Booster,” an innovative piece of sustainable and inclusive street furniture designed as a “mental charging station” for urban areas. The Booster combines neuroarchitecture principles with natural materials to create intimate, green, circular spaces that promote relaxation, reflection, and social interaction. A prototype was tested in Stavanger and improved into a more robust, modular version (Booster 2.0), aiming to be fully bio-based using materials such as wood, cork, rammed earth, and seaweed. Formverk seeks partners under the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-PARTICIPATION-03 (“Beautiful, sustainable and inclusive street furniture for the transformation of neighbourhoods”). They offer expertise in design, co-creation processes, impact assessment, and evaluation. The expression of interest deadline is 13 October 2025, with the call deadline on 11 December 2025.

The Norwegian company Co-Creators is seeking partners to test “Neutrals,” a concept of biodegradable and function-neutral urban furniture developed under the Horizon Europe call HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-PARTICIPATION-03 (“Beautiful, sustainable and inclusive street furniture for the transformation of neighbourhoods”). Neutrals modules are flexible and can be placed in diverse urban settings such as parks, rooftops, courtyards, or repurposed parking lots, creating temporary spaces that foster creativity, community, and sustainability. Co-Creators describes its approach as an “urban sandbox” that gives people ownership and voice in shaping their environment. They welcome all kinds of partners for collaboration and testing. The expression of interest deadline is 13 October 2025, with the call deadline on 11 December 2025.

The Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D4-03, under the Built4People Partnership, focuses on developing innovative pathways for a low-carbon and climate-resilient building stock and built environment. The aim is to accelerate the uptake of sustainable solutions that improve energy performance, circularity, resource efficiency, climate resilience, safety, and adaptability while reducing whole life carbon emissions. Proposals must design and validate scalable planning methods in at least three countries with different climates, include renovation cases, and involve diverse stakeholders such as municipalities, citizens, and the construction sector. Social sciences and humanities expertise is also required to ensure societal impact. The call opens on 16 September 2025 and closes on 17 February 2026.

The Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL5-2026-02-D3-20 aims to develop innovative tools and services to manage and empower energy communities. Projects should integrate smart home and building assets using IoT standards, enable local energy trading and peer-to-peer transactions, and improve participation in energy markets. Expected outcomes include enhancing renewable energy integration, ensuring secure data exchange, and fostering cross-sectoral synergies (electricity, heating, mobility). Solutions must be tested in at least three diverse energy communities across Europe, with active participation of citizens, local governments, DSOs, aggregators, and manufacturers. The call emphasizes open-source tools, AI-based forecasting, and platforms for cooperation, aligned with EU policy goals and SSH (social sciences and humanities) involvement. Opening date: 16 September 2025; deadline: 17 February 2026.

The Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL5-2026-01-D6-13 focuses on improving the safety of cyclists, pedestrians, and micromobility users (e.g., e-bikes, e-scooters, e-cargo bikes). With active and micromobility transport growing in cities, proposals must address crash risks, infrastructure design, and safety regulations. Expected outcomes include better road safety, standardised crash reporting, guidelines for integrating micromobility into Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs), and mitigation measures against heavier car fleets. Projects should test new infrastructure designs, smart technologies like V2X, and real-time information platforms in at least two urban environments. Social sciences and humanities involvement is required to assess behavioural aspects and societal impacts. The call opens on 16 September 2025 and closes on 20 January 2026.
