NOVARECKON SRL

Their core work

NOVARECKON is an Italian SME based in Novara that appears to provide analytical and consulting services across energy and agri-food sectors. Their project portfolio suggests expertise in socioeconomic impact assessment, data analysis, and cross-sectoral evaluation — evidenced by contributions ranging from energy efficiency benefits assessment to plant stress tolerance research and distributed solar PV integration. They serve as a support partner bringing quantitative analysis capabilities to multidisciplinary research consortia.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

NOVARECKON's H2020 activity spans a narrow window from 2015 to 2017 (project start dates), making evolution analysis limited. Their earliest involvement was as a third party in energy efficiency socioeconomic assessment (IN-BEE), suggesting they entered EU research in a supporting analytical capacity. By 2017, they had expanded to full participant roles in both agri-food (TomRes) and distributed energy (iDistributedPV), indicating a broadening of scope and growing confidence in EU project participation.

NOVARECKON moved from third-party support roles toward full consortium participation across multiple sectors, suggesting they are building a broader analytical consultancy profile for EU research.

How they like to work

NOVARECKON never coordinates — they join consortia as a participant or third party, indicating a specialist contributor profile rather than a project leader. With 44 unique partners across 15 countries from just 3 projects, they operate in large, diverse consortia typical of RIA and CSA schemes. This breadth of connections relative to their small project count suggests they are well-networked for their size but do not drive consortium formation themselves.

Despite only 3 projects, NOVARECKON has built connections with 44 partners across 15 countries, giving them a surprisingly wide European network for a small SME. This reach comes from participating in large RIA/CSA consortia rather than from leading projects.

What sets them apart

NOVARECKON's distinguishing feature is their ability to contribute across traditionally siloed sectors — energy, agriculture, and environment — likely through transferable analytical or evaluation skills. For consortium builders, they offer a flexible Italian SME partner that can fill socioeconomic analysis or data evaluation roles without sector restrictions. Their Novara location in the Piedmont region provides access to northern Italy's strong industrial and agricultural research ecosystem.

Highlights from their portfolio

• iDistributedPV
  Largest single EC contribution (EUR 163,125) and addresses the commercially relevant challenge of integrating distributed solar PV into existing power grids.
• TomRes
  Longest-running project (2017-2021) and a departure from their energy focus, demonstrating cross-sector versatility in agricultural resilience research.
