Gabriele Bammer is developing the new discipline of Integration and Implementation Sciences (I2S). It aims to improve research and action on complex real-world problems by providing methods to a) bring together knowledge from relevant disciplines and stakeholders b) understand and manage diverse unknowns (ignorance) and c) support policy and practice change (see
i2s.anu.edu.au.) This is described in
