Gabriele Bammer is developing the new discipline of Integration and Implementation Sciences (i2S). This builds on her foundational book Disciplining Interdisciplinarity: Integration and Implementation Sciences for Researching Complex Real-World Problems (ANU E Press, 2013; http://press.anu.edu.au?p=222171). To help achieve this aim she convenes a global community in producing the popular Integration and Implementation Insights (i2Insights; https://i2Insights.org/), which is a community blog and repository of theory, methods and other tools underpinning i2S.

She is the inaugural President if the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance; https://itd-alliance.org/). She was an ANU Public Policy Fellow and is an inaugural Fulbright New Century Scholar alumna. She has held visiting appointments at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government (2001-14), the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center at the University of Maryland (2015-2018) and the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies in Potsdam, Germany (2019-20), along with short-term appointments at ETH-Zurich (2007) and the Universitaet fuer Bodenkultur in Vienna (2012). From 2007-2013 she was the convenor of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Policing and Security’s Integration and Implementation research program.

She co-convened (with Michael Smithson) an edX Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) on ‘Ignorance!’. 

Between 2011-13 she was Director of the ANU's Research School of Population Health, Director of the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health, and co-Director and then Director of the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute.
