EIS: Evidence & Implementation Summit 2025
27-29 October 2025
Melbourne, Australia
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 joins forces with the Implementation Science Health Conference Australia (ISHCA) to present, for the first time, a combined global program.
The Summit brings 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.
Your Summit co-hosts in 2025 are the Centre for Evidence and Implementation (CEI) and the Implementation Science Health Conference Australia (ISHCA).

Can I present at EIS 2025?
The Summit is returning to a fully face-to-face format in 2025, with new presentation options and a revamped call for abstracts.
​
The call for abstracts is now open, until 18 May.
Our key theme is Fairer, faster, better – Realising the promise of evidence and implementation to improve lives, alongside six sub-themes encompassing the topics of Equity, Fit, Scale, Policy, Methods and Learning.
EIS combined with ISHCA provides more opportunities than ever to share your findings and experience, to connect with the latest thinking, and to make new global and local contacts.
