The first Bauhaus of the Seas co-design event is a conference designated to offer an opportunity of learning more about and participate in the design of the New European Bauhaus initiative while contributing to the Bauhaus of the Seas vision.

The ”Bauhaus of the Seas” was the first thematic network proposed in the context of the co- creation phase of the New European Bauhaus. Also known, as “marhaus” (literally “the sea as our home”) or “baumar” (“the sea as a space for creation and impact entrepreneurship”), aims to promote renewed ethical and aesthetic regenerative development from a widely diverse range of dimensions of our continued relationship with the sea. This network will foster a school of interdisciplinary experimentation and entrepreneurship, bound to shape a generation of designers, architects, engineers, artists, managers, and scientists around sustainable design solutions for coastal regions and the sea.

The Bauhaus of the Seas co-design event will count on the participation of multi-disciplinary speakers, including Government representatives, Researchers, and Policymakers from the European Commission and member countries. The complete program is available on the conference's website.

The event is being co-organized by Câmara Municipal de Lisboa, Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, Instituto Superior Técnico and MAAT – Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology.

Registrations will be open until May 19th, 2021.
