Mission & Values
What defines Novation Europe
We are passionate about EU research and innovation—and about helping you have a rewarding experience with it.
Our focus is on impact and empowerment. We exist to help you and your organisation succeed with EU R&I, and your success is what drives us.
Mission
We are committed to accelerating the very best talent and ideas through European research and innovation. Novation Europe collaborates with leading innovators, enhancing opportunities for established leaders while enabling emerging talent from smaller or under-represented organisations to thrive.
Our mission is to democratise engagement in European R&I by unlocking potential where expertise or capacity is lacking. We lower barriers for diverse groups and create the conditions for the more experienced individuals to act.
Our approach focuses on empowerment and wellbeing, strengthening participation across Europe’s collaborative research and innovation system. Driven by a passion for EU R&I, we help people and organisations engage, succeed, and realise its full benefits — from productivity and breakthrough discoveries to career development and rewarding collaboration.
Our mission in full
We are committed to accelerate the very best talent and ideas through European research and innovation.
Novation Europe works with leading innovators – institutions, organisations, consortia and people – across the European research and innovation landscape.
That means collaborating with established leaders in their fields while – equally importantly – enhancing the prospects of emerging innovators from smaller or under-represented organisations and groups.
Our mission is to democratise and accelerate engagement, unlocking potential where time, capacity, or expertise is lacking.
We do this by lowering the barriers to entry for more diverse groups and creating the capacity for the more experienced people to act, enabling people.
Our approach is centred on empowerment and wellbeing, and ultimately strengthening and growing participation across Europe’s collaborative research and innovation system.
Novation Europe is driven by a passion for EU R&I and by a commitment to helping people engage with and succeed in it.
Not simply for accessing funding, but realising what EU R&I is designed to deliver for the benefit of people and organisations: increased productivity, breakthrough discoveries, career development, and rewarding collaborations.
Novation Europe is not just another consultancy. Our ambition is to establish Novation Europe as a collective force – a growing network and community of practice that not only generates positive experiences with EU funding – whether when bringing capability or capacity – leading to repeated and sustainable engagement, but also contributes and convenes fresh ideas to strengthen participation in European R&I.
Values
People first
Research and innovation are built on people. We bring a human-centric approach that values confidence, inclusivity, and wellbeing — ensuring participation in EU R&I is empowering, not intimidating.

At the heart of Novation Europe is a human-centric mindset. We recognise that research and innovation is not just about systems and projects, but about the people who make them happen. Confidence, inclusivity, and wellbeing are therefore central to our way of working. We believe participation in EU&I should be empowering and fulfilling, not intimidating or transactional.
Empowerment over dependency
We help individuals and organisations develop lasting capability. Our approach builds confidence and skill so that clients can continue to thrive long after our direct support.

Our culture is built on empowerment. We help individuals and organisations build lasting capability, not dependency. Our aim is to make participation in European R&I both productive and genuinely enjoyable — so that people want to return to it, again and again.
Collaboration as a force for good
We believe collaboration across borders enriches science, society, and culture. At a time of division, we are committed to opening doors, building bridges, and making EU R&I participation a rewarding and unifying experience.

We are also defined by collaboration. At a time when social tensions, borders and barriers dominate public debate, we see community and cooperation as a force for good. Working together including across borders enriches science, society, and culture, and Novation Europe are committed to opening doors, building bridges, and making EU participation rewarding.
