Academia & Research Partnerships

Transform scholarship into impact with Zinaki’s collaborative academic initiatives—designed to translate theory into practice, enrich curricula, and inform policy.

Key Challenges in Academia

  • Research-to-Practice Gap: Valuable academic insights often remain confined to journals, with limited real-world application.
  • Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Difficulty coordinating across departments, institutions, and external partners.
  • Curriculum Relevance: Traditional syllabi may not reflect emerging trends in aging, wellness, and public policy.
  • Funding & Impact Measurement: Securing grants and demonstrating measurable outcomes can be complex.

How Zinaki Bridges Scholarship & Practice

  • Co-Developed Research Projects: Joint studies with academic teams that produce publishable findings and actionable recommendations.
  • Curriculum & Course Design: Integrate the latest in neuroscience, philosophy, and policy into modules that engage and inspire students.
  • Guest Lectures & Seminars: Expert-led sessions that bring “real-world” case studies and interactive discussion to the classroom.
  • Action Research & Pilots: Field-based experiments and pilot programs that generate both academic insights and practical outcomes.

Our Academic Partnership Services
