Engagement

  • Gabriele Bammer continues to work with an international group of leaders of interdisciplinary research organisations to further develop the network and a range of projects. She is co-organising a workshop at Santa Fe Institute in November and is working with a subgroup to hold a workshop for leaders in the Oceania region in May 2019.
  • The main public interface for Integration and Implementation Sciences is the http://i2s.anu.edu.au website.
