Current issue

i2S News:

  • highlights useful tools (concepts, methods, processes, frameworks, and theories) for tackling complex societal and environmental problems
  • charts progress in building a global community to:
    • bring together all the various approaches to tackling complex problems, including inter- and transdisciplinarity, systems thinking, action research, post-normal science, implementation science, and the science or team science.
    • develop i2S as a global endeavour, where each country’s ways of tackling complex problems are recognised and shared, leading to a richer tapestry of concepts, methods and other tools.

The main sources of information are updates made to:

Historical note

The current i2S News builds on two previous iterations, which are available as archived versions:

A previous version of i2S News was produced from July-August 2011 to September-December 2021 (58 issues). The primary purpose of this bi-monthly (mostly) newsletter was to  report on new resources (listed below) that were added to a resources repository, which has now been dismantled. (Most of these tools were relocated as part of dismantling the repository.) In particular, each issue of i2S News reported on new:

  • tools (concepts and methods for undertaking research on complex real-world problems, especially for knowledge synthesis, dealing with unknowns and providing research support for policy and practice change)
  • approaches (sets of integration and implementation practices guided by particular principles, such as transdisciplinarity and systems thinking)
  • cases (applications of tools and approaches)
  • journals (where tools, approaches and cases are published)
  • professional associations and networks (that bring together researchers focused on ‘how’ to better understand and act on complex real-world problems)
  • conferences (where tools, approaches and cases are discussed).

Back issues

ANU Integration News was produced from September 2007 to June 2011 (31 issues) for staff and students at The Australian National University (ANU) with an interest in research integration and implementation.
