About

From research to action.

After several years of research and postdoctoral work, Ankinée Kirakozian became a lecturer-researcher at the École des Mines de Nancy (Université de Lorraine), specialising in environmental and behavioural economics.

She then chose to leave academia to bring research closer to action, and contribute more directly to the environmental decisions of local authorities, institutions/businesses and the State.

Today, she supports organisations that want to base their decisions on scientific evidence — with one goal: designing environmental solutions capable of lastingly changing behaviour.

Services

Real-world problems, solved with science.

01

Scientific Consulting

Problem solvedGrounding an environmental policy in evidence rather than intuition.
02

Behavioural Studies

Problem solvedUnderstanding individual preferences and why an expected behaviour change doesn't occur — testing behavioural tools to shift behaviour.
03

Economic Evaluation

Problem solvedEstimating the causal effect of a policy or intervention by comparing the change in an exposed group with a comparison group, before and after implementation.
04

European Projects

Problem solvedBuilding a European proposal where impact and exploitation are designed in from the start, not bolted on at the end.
05

Scientific Expertise

Problem solvedGetting an independent scientific view on a project, a report or a review.
06

Training

Problem solvedGiving a team the methods to design, evaluate and valorise its own research.
