Welcome to the April-June 2025 i2S News with the latest developments in Integration and Implementation Sciences (i2S).
In this i2S News we are organising the material presented under the following headings:
- i2S theoretical framework, which covers advances in the framework’s building, testing, improvement and documentation
- Tools for tackling complex problems, which cover concepts, methods, processes, frameworks, and theories
- Strengthening the research and education community, which covers bringing together various approaches and developing i2S as a global endeavour
- Other updates and resources.
The key information sources are updates made to:
- i2Insights (the community blog and repository)
- i2S-Talks (the YouTube channel)
- the i2S webpages (which provide specific information about Integration and Implementation Sciences).
There are three updates on the i2S theoretical framework covering research approaches, imperfection, and trust. Progress on moving i2S materials to the i2Insights website is also reported.
Nineteen tools for tackling complex problems were added to either i2Insights blog and repository or i2S-Talks in the following main topics: change, decision making, diversity, integration, research implementation, stakeholder engagement, systems and teamwork.
In strengthening the research and education community, there is a description of measuring progress through statistical analysis of i2Insights blog and repository, as well as providing an update of links (through i2S-Talks) among networks.
Other updates and resources present two new videos featuring a South–North dialogue and pioneering teaching efforts, as well as two new blog posts discussing artificial intelligence.
Feedback and suggestions for i2S News are always welcome!
