Novation Europe.
Bringing
Value
Working with Novation Europe means having a partner who understands your context and adapts to it — not one who imposes theirs.
Our approach is built around your needs, capacity, and goals.
It’s designed to make European engagement work for you — practical, strategic, and genuinely sustainable.
The outcome: You gain momentum, resilience and relief in your European journey, with a trusted partner who strengthens your ability to engage, deliver, and grow.
Practitioner-led
You work with people who have done this themselves. That experience means our advice is practical, strategic, and immediately applicable & available.

We’ve written the bids, built the partnerships, managed the projects, and worked at organisations like yours.
We understand your organisation function — the culture, pressure, and your ambition — and we tailor our support to fit your reality.
Tailored to you
We adapt to your culture, capacity and system — not the other way round.
Expand
No two organisations engage with Europe in the same way.
Whether embedding with your research office, working with leadership, or facilitating partnerships, our support flexes to fit your internal ways or working, processes and culture.
The result is an approach that builds capability and continuity rather than dependency.
Full-cycle approach
Our work is grounded in a holistic, full-cycle view of EU research and innovation participation – understanding and advising how strategy, delivery, and capability interlock.
Expand
You benefit from deep expertise, acumen and advanced facilitation to help overcome capacity and capability barriers and reduce risks, whether developing leadership vision and mindset towards EU R&I, growing portfolios, or getting bids and projects over the line.
People-centric
We bring you capacity and capability, strengthen the people, processes, and systems that underpin EU R&I success, so engagement becomes sustainable, not exhausting.
Expand
European engagement is demanding. Confidence, inclusivity, and wellbeing shape how we work with you.
We recognise your pressures and doubts that sit behind researcher, practitioner and professional roles and organisational expectations.
Connected

You get first hand advice in identifying and approaching which partners to work with.
