As a co-programmed partnership, Built4People brings together the public sector (the European Commission) and the private sector (ECTP and WorldGBC Europe) with the aim of channelling funding for the built environment, ensuring it is invested in projects which will accelerate innovations towards a sustainable, people-centric transformation of Europe’s built environment sector.
The objectives are scientific (generate holistic innovation for sustainability), economic (revitalise the sector via sustainable operation) and societal (induce behavioural change towards sustainable living). The objectives will be reached through a user-centric approach.
Various topics in the Horizon Europe cluster 5 work programme bear the label "Built4People". These topics contribute to achieving the objectives of this co-programmed partnership. You can find these call topics in the regular Horizon Europe cluster 5 work programme, e.g.:
HORIZON-CL5-2024-D4-02-01: Industrialisation of sustainable and circular deep
renovation workflows (Built4People Partnership)
Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
