Implementation studies are conducted in numerous areas, including patient safety, lifestyle, physiotherapy and e-health. An acclaimed PhD-level course on implementation is given annually, attracting participants from across Sweden and also from the Nordic countries. International networking is an important aspect of the program, with collaboration with and visits from leading implementation researchers to Linköping University for lectures and discussions. Networking in the Nordic Implementation Network as well as the European Implementation Collaboration (EIC) and the Global Implementation Collaboration (GIC) is also important.
The program engages researchers from medical, technical and philosophical faculties.
