Rebuilding a better Ukraine via the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Academy
InnoRenew CoE is implementing the “Rebuilding a better Ukraine via the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Academy” project, supported by U-LEAD with Europe Programme, to define and create the conditions for the sustainable operation of a NEB Academy Hub(s) in Ukraine that can join the NEB Academy Alliance – a network of new NEB Academy Hubs that is organizing and developing the NEB Academy in Europe.
The NEB is a movement in Europe to engage citizens and construction sector professionals in defining and building a better built environment that is inclusive, sustainable, and beautiful. The NEB Academy is a developing system of training centres (hubs) that will create and deliver relevant trainings to a broad range of construction stakeholders including sector professionals, citizens, municipal workers, policy makers, creatives, and others who express interest. The NEB Academy Hub in Ukraine will transfer knowledge to and from the Academy to enrich its offerings and transfer best practices and state-of-the-art knowledge to Ukraine, with a special focus on supporting the rebuilding efforts.
To ensure national perspectives are centered in the project, are we are hiring 3 national experts that will support us. We are searching for experts in the following areas:
- Policy and legislation in Ukraine
- Business law and models that are possible in Ukraine
- Construction practice in Ukraine
The main goal of the project is to define the business model, business plan and operating conditions of a successful and sustainable NEB Academy Hub in Ukraine. To do so, the project will examine current knowledge and needs related to the built environment and sustainable building practices, develop a network of relevant stakeholders in Ukraine and identify potential operators of the NEB Hub in Ukraine, provide initial trainings to future trainers to prepare them to train learners in Ukraine, develop a core curriculum upon which the Hub can build its operations, and raise awareness about the NEB and the NEB Academy.
Please read here about the foreseen activities, estimated time engagement for each expert, and all the details about the open call!
Interested candidates should send their CVs and motivation letters (max 1 page) in English by July 15, 2024 to coe@innorenew.eu with subject line Ukraine – national expert. Please clearly indicate which of the 3 positions you are submitting your CV for.
Notice of call termination without selection
Due to an identified error in the procedure for the open call for national experts, InnoRenew CoE has decided to terminate the current call without selecting any experts.
The initial process anticipated the selection of individual experts and the signing of individual contracts. However, it has come to our attention that experts in Ukraine typically operate as legal entities capable of providing services.
As a result, we will not be proceeding with the current selection. We will reissue the call for experts, with updated conditions and a draft contract that reflect this new understanding.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. Please stay tuned for the updated call, which will be announced shortly.
U-LEAD with Europe: Local Empowerment, Accountability and Development Programme is a multi-donor action of the EU and its member states Germany, Poland, Denmark and Slovenia to support Ukraine on its path to strengthening local self-government. U-LEAD promotes transparent, accountable, resilient and responsive multi-level governance in Ukraine and empowers municipalities.
