Have your say on how we turn the The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 into reality!

We are charged with implementing The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 which was developed over two years of consultation. It is our intention that the Strategy is a document that is used and is useful, that we respond to the gaps it identifies, bring to life the actions articulated through our consultations, and that it is a live document in so much as we use it as a springboard for the generation of new ideas, activities and strategic priorities as required.

We're all about the 'co'

Research is an iterative and dynamic process best informed and co-produced at all stages between researchers, clinicians and people with lived experience, families and supports. We are genuinely invested in Collaborating, Codesigning, Coproducing and Communicating to achieve research innovations that change people’s lives.

About the Conference

The Research and Translation Think Tank has been designed a little bit differently; all speakers are invited based on a subject matter list put together by the organising committee, governing council and requests and suggestions from Members of the Centre and the National Network Advisory Committee. With a focus on Australian research, the programme prioritises new findings from within the field and highly relevant knowledge and breakthroughs from adjacent fields that are relevant to both research agendas and clinical practice. It is a single-stream 2-day scientific programme designed so attendees can participate in all sessions across the two days. The programme is intended to work as a whole, with invited speakers curated to provide diverse sessions addressing the most current scientific areas and findings, interactive sessions to inform how we do research and translate it into practice, with high relevance for researchers and evidence-based practitioners of all expertise types.

Australian researchers are key contributors to the global knowledge base about eating disorders - we are passionate and determined to advance understanding, to find new ways to think about the difficult issues, and to undertake research with impact that saves lives and improves the health and wellbeing of people with eating disorders and their loved ones. Think Tank 2024 will bring researchers together from across Australia - to be inspired by cutting edge science, to challenge conventional thinking, to learn more about novel methodologies and ways of working and to network and ideate with colleagues.
