Welcome to the Integration and Implementation Sciences website!

The aim of this site is to provide a range of information and resources, including being the hub of the Integration and Implementation Sciences Network.

Integration and Implementation Sciences (I2S or IIS) is an emerging discipline concerned with:

1. the synthesis of a range of knowledge, information and perspectives to improve understanding of complex issues;
2. using research knowledge to support decision makers in various domains, including public policy, business, professional practice and community activism; and,
3. using research knowledge to underpin the implementation of decisions in effective social change.

It aims to provide an academic base for largely ignored cross-cutting concepts and methods crucial for tackling complex issues. More detailed information is available in the overview of I2S.

The network aims to bring together a ‘college’ of peers who can support and critically evaluate each other’s work. There are a number of undertakings currently supported by this website and you can:

• join the I2S Network;
• find network members, by surname, country, integration approach or area of work;
• find resources relevant to Integration and Implementation Sciences, covering associations, journals, readings and online articles; and,
• join I2S Network activities.
