  Join us for the live stream of this special sub-plenary session marking the 25th anniversary of IJIC. As the leading open-access journal dedicated to integrated care, IJIC has played a central role in advancing research, policy, and practice across the globe.

  This session brings together Editors-in-Chief, founding contributors, and new voices to reflect on the journal’s journey, its impact, and the road ahead. The session will feature a mix of presentations and discussions, including highlights from a recent 10-year review and a panel discussion exploring the challenges faced by integrated care researchers and projects in demonstrating and achieving real-world impact.

  We invite all authors, reviewers, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to join us in celebrating the journal’s achievements and engaging in a dialogue on its future.
