Fairer, faster, better – Realising the promise of evidence and implementation to improve lives
A leading biennial event at the nexus of research, policy and practice, the Evidence and Implementation Summit (EIS) seeks to improve lives globally. In 2025, EIS joined forces with the Implementation Science Health Conference Australia (ISHCA) to present, for the first time, a combined global program.
The 2025 Summit brought together policymakers, researchers, implementation scientists, program evaluators, practitioners, academics, organisation leaders and funders, to examine the synthesis, evaluation, generation, translation, and implementation of research evidence into policy and practice.
At EIS, we bridge the gap between what we know and what we do.
​
With inequity and misinformation growing worldwide, closing the ‘know-do’ gap has never been more important or urgent.
The Summit co-hosts in 2025 were the Centre for Evidence and Implementation (CEI) and the Implementation Science Health Conference Australia (ISHCA).​​
