In 2025, ISHCA is partnering with the Centre for Evidence and Implementation to present a combined program at the Evidence and Implementation Summit (EIS) in Melbourne, Australia, 27-29 October 2025.
ISHCA is Australia’s premier implementation science conference for the health sector, focused on implementing the best evidence in healthcare.
EIS is a major gathering of the evidence and implementation sector, bringing together policymakers, researchers and practitioners – with the aim of improving lives globally.
We are very excited to present these two events together on the one stage in October 2025.
EIS and ISHCA together will present the latest advances, expert insights, case studies and results across evidence synthesis, knowledge translation and implementation science.
This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to grow your knowledge, expand your professional networks and gain real-world insights at the nexus of policy, research and practice.
