The conference will conclude with a plenary debate on the topic “That effective approaches to complex real-world problems need an underpinning discipline like Integration and Implementation Sciences”.
The debate will also launch the book Disciplining Interdisciplinarity: Integration and Implementation Sciences for Researching Complex Real-World Problems (see below).
The debate and book launch will be live in Canberra and will also be provided as a live video stream (webcast) that will also be made available for later download.
