Novelcore is 30+ researchers and engineers in Athens who refuse to choose between publishing and shipping. This is what the work looks like from the inside — from the surface down to its core.
Depth 01 The crust — what the work gives you
Work that ships and publishes simultaneously.
Co-authored, peer-reviewed
Your research doesn't stay internal. It goes through peer review with your name on it — co-authored with the people you build alongside.
Active Horizon EU projects
Our consortium work isn't a side quest. Horizon Europe projects are living labs where ideas meet real institutions and real citizens.
Remote-flexible, founder-close
Work where you work best. And when you need a decision, you talk to the people who can make one — direct access to the founders, no layers.
Depth 02 The outer layer — how we operate
People who evolve through the systemic cycle of the organization.
Small team, maximum ownership
Thirty people means every one of them matters. You own problems end to end — no ticket-passing, no diffusion of responsibility.
No wall between R&D and product
The researcher and the engineer are often the same person — and always the same team. What we discover, we deploy.
Rigour, not consensus
We don't settle debates by vote or by volume. The best-evidenced argument wins — and everyone's argument gets tested the same way.
Depth 03 The core — why we're here
Because the problems we solve are real — and worth our best work.
Our work is part of our lives. That's not a complaint — it's the reason we take culture seriously. The choices we make every day, and the values behind them, are what define how this place works. Nobody hands us a culture; we build it in every review, every deployment, every disagreement resolved with rigour.
We shape our future — by us, for us.
Do your best work on problems that are real.
