JBI iGNITE 2026: Two-Day Methodology Symposium

Ignite ideas. Inspire innovation. Shape the future of evidence.

JBI iGNITE is a two-day symposium designed to spark creativity and challenge our collective thinking about the future of methodology and methods in evidence-based healthcare (EBHC).

As the global evidence ecosystem evolves at lightning speed – with advances in AI, big data analytics, and multidisciplinary research – methodologies for generating, synthesising, and implementing evidence are transforming like never before.

To achieve better evidence, better outcomes, and a brighter future for all, we must embrace fresh perspectives, novel approaches, and unconventional solutions.

JBI iGNITE is your opportunity to explore what the future of EBHC might hold, connect with leading thinkers, and reimagine the possibilities for innovation in evidence synthesis, transfer, and implementation.

Introducing the JBI iGNITE plenary speakers – thought leaders shaping the future of evidence and innovation:

· Prof Arash Rashidian, World Health Organization, Egypt

· Prof Sandy Middleton, St Vicent’s Health Network & ACU, Australia

· A/Prof Natalie Taylor, UNSW, Australia
