EPSILON INTERNASIONAL ANONYMI ETAIREIA MELETON KAI SYMVOULON (EPSILON INTERNATIONAL SA)

Their core work

Epsilon International SA is a Greek consultancy and research studies firm (the Greek name translates literally as "company of studies and consultants") that contributes analytical and advisory expertise to European research consortia. Their H2020 participation spans two distinct domains — airport passenger security processes and atmospheric UV radiation monitoring — suggesting they offer cross-disciplinary consulting capacity rather than deep technical specialisation in a single field. In both projects they participated as a consortium partner rather than leading, which is consistent with a consultancy role: providing domain knowledge, methodology, or process analysis to larger research efforts. Based in Marousi, the business district of Athens, they appear oriented toward EU-funded research engagement as a strategic channel for their consulting activity.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

With only two projects starting just one year apart (2015 and 2016), there is very little timeline depth to identify a genuine evolution. The early project (FLYSEC) addressed security and passenger process optimisation, while the second (AURORA) shifted entirely to space-based atmospheric science — two domains with no obvious thematic connection. This divergence suggests the organisation does not follow a single research trajectory but instead positions itself as a flexible consulting partner across whatever EU calls it can enter, rather than deepening expertise in one area over time.

With only two projects in unrelated domains and no activity recorded after 2016, there is no clear directional signal — their future trajectory in EU research is uncertain and cannot be meaningfully predicted from available data.

How they like to work

Epsilon International has participated exclusively as a consortium partner, never as a project coordinator, across both of its H2020 projects. Their 19 unique partners spread across 9 countries from just two projects suggests they joined mid-to-large consortia, which is typical for a consultancy offering specialised input rather than driving a research agenda. There is no evidence of repeated partnerships, indicating they have not built a stable core network but instead entered different consortia for each project.

Epsilon International has connected with 19 unique consortium partners across 9 countries through only two projects, suggesting they joined relatively large pan-European consortia. Their geographic spread is broad relative to their project count, but the absence of repeated partners means they have not developed a stable collaborative network.

What sets them apart

Epsilon International's distinguishing characteristic is its willingness to contribute consulting expertise across genuinely disparate research domains — from airport passenger security to atmospheric ozone science — within the EU framework. For consortium builders, this positions them as a flexible Greek SME partner that can fill advisory or methodology roles without requiring domain-specific technical infrastructure. However, with only two completed projects and no coordinator experience, their track record is thin and a potential partner should clarify the specific contribution they made in FLYSEC and AURORA before relying on them in a lead analytical role.

Highlights from their portfolio

• AURORA
  The largest of their two projects (€337,650 EC contribution), operating under the Space pillar with a focus on UV radiation and ozone retrieval — an unusual domain for a Greek consultancy SME, suggesting a specialised niche capability in environmental data applications.
• FLYSEC
  Their Security-pillar project on airport passenger process optimisation is the clearest match for a consultancy profile, covering operational and procedural analysis in a high-stakes public infrastructure setting.
