On 12–13 February 2026, the 4th Swiss Implementation Science Conference will take place in Zurich. This event offers a valuable opportunity for researchers, professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders to come together and promote the effective transfer of innovation from research into practice.

Under the theme “True IMPACT – Providing Innovation for Patients and the Public”, the conference aims to explore how Implementation Science can meaningfully contribute to improving healthcare services by supporting the sustainable adoption of innovative solutions that benefit both patients and the wider community.

Throughout the event, Swiss and international projects will be presented, highlighting the challenges, approaches, and outcomes encountered in various healthcare settings. These contributions will offer concrete insights into how implementation activities are shaping clinical practice. The conference also provides space for discussion and exchange, fostering connections among participants from academia, public institutions, and industry.

The programme will include methodological contributions from leading experts, focusing on tools, models, and theoretical frameworks that support the effectiveness and sustainability of implementation efforts. On the day preceding the official start of the conference, interactive workshops will be offered for both newcomers to Implementation Science and experienced practitioners looking to strengthen their skills.

The call for abstracts is now open to researchers and professionals wishing to share their projects and experiences in the field of Implementation Science. The submission deadline is 1 September 2025. Full guidelines and instructions are available here.

This conference represents a key opportunity to delve into pressing issues in healthcare transformation, build new collaborations, and advance the development of evidence-based practices.

The event is organised by the Institute for Implementation Science in Health Care at the University of Zurich and the IMPACT – Swiss Implementation Science Network, with the support and co-promotion of several universities and institutions, including SUPSI.
