The Dutch Implementation Science Symposium

Are you working on or interested in cutting-edge, original, innovative, but above all: relevant implementation research? Listen, discuss, and share ideas, methods, findings and your 'eureka moments' with colleagues in Europe!

The focus of this symposium is on methodology in implementation research. We will also zoom out to issues on a system level. We have interesting key notes in the making for you!

Key notes

  • Implementation Mapping | Prof.dr. María E. Fernández, UTHealth Institute for Implementation science, School of Public Health, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston.
  • A systems approach to scale-up for population health improvement | A/Prof.dr. Harriet Koorts, Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, Deakin University, Melbourne.

Workshop sessions and Early Career Researcher key note

The symposium will be interactive, with debates on emerging and new research in implementation science. There will be think tanks on subjects such as measurement instruments for implementation outcomes, scale-up strategies, and linking implementation strategies to determinants. Additionally, we offer a platform for junior researchers to present their implementation research.

Are you interested in sharing your knowledge in the afternoon sessions? Read more on how to submit your proposal!
