Our Areas of Expertise

Aukai combines high-level scientific and technical skills with a visionary approach to meet the complex challenges that cut across our three areas of activity: sustainability, education and higher education, and support for people and communities.

What makes us unique is that we are rooted in both technical expertise and a keen understanding of social dynamics. We understand that each project, each mission, is a response to crucial challenges: preserving our planet while supporting equitable development, adapting education systems to the changing needs of modern societies, and providing respectful and precise support for people in vulnerable situations.

Substainability

When it comes to sustainability, we work in line with international public policies, while proposing solutions tailored to local conditions and the needs of the stakeholders involved. We have both cutting-edge technical expertise and sensitivity to long-term environmental, social and economic impacts. In particular, we work on issues related to green finance, which aims to mobilise resources for environmentally-friendly projects; climate security, by anticipating and mitigating the risks associated with climate change; and sustainable development, by promoting initiatives that balance ecological, social and economic dimensions to meet global challenges while respecting local contexts..

Education and Higher Education

In the field of education, our approach goes beyond traditional frameworks to respond to the major contemporary challenges: internationalisation, pedagogical innovation, inclusion, and the resilience of education systems in the face of crises. We support educational and university institutions in developing strategies tailored to the real needs of the societies they serve. Our work is based on in-depth scientific analysis of local and global contexts, expertise in education policy and international project management.

Psychological Safety

Support for people and communities is a unique and complementary strand that enhances our other two areas of expertise, sustainability and education. Uncommon among design offices, it embodies our commitment to a holistic and humane approach to projects. Working with psychologists and sociologists, we integrate an essential human dimension, often overlooked, into the issues of sustainable development and education. We know that each situation reflects unique lives and stories. Our holistic approach, combining scientific expertise with a detailed understanding of social realities, enables us to offer tailor-made support at the crossroads of environmental, educational and human issues.

What really sets us apart is our conviction that each project, study, research or training course is a cornerstone that contributes to building, step by step, a fairer, more sustainable and resilient world. Through our actions, we create and help to build concrete solutions. We don’t just respond to needs; we anticipate them, we understand them, and we are committed to offering tailor-made solutions that are thought through with depth, ethics and humanity.
