ICIC23 Antwerp, Flanders – May 22-24 2023
23rd International Conference on Integrated Care
The 23rd International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC23) in partnership with the Flanders Agency for Health and Care and Visit Flanders took place at Flanders Meeting & Convention Center Antwerp, Flanders on 22-24 May 2023. With the overarching theme ‘Care in action: how to work together, a participatory approach’, the conference brought together leaders, researchers, clinicians, managers, citizens, patients and caregivers from around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.
The conference operated as a hybrid event. While we were very excited to be physically together in Antwerp, the hybrid format meant that people who did not wish to travel could join and present at the conference via video link and present their paper digitally.

The scientific committee for this conference was established from international experts who are leading in the field of Integrated Care. They accepted papers on research, policy, practice or education and specifically related to the Conference Themes and the 9 Pillars of Integrated Care. All accepted abstracts will be published in the International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) and recordings of presentations and workshops and all digital posters will be connected to the Knowledge Tree.
ICIC23 is co-designed with patients and caregivers and achieves Patients Included designation. Special consideration is given to papers that demonstrate active people involvement and engagement in either or all of design, implementation and evaluation. Patient and Caregivers attend the conference for free, but we cannot cover accommodation and travel costs. We encourage papers from patient and caregivers, but also suggest that health and care researchers and practitioners should encourage patient and caregiver partners to co-present where appropriate and fund travel and accommodation costs if possible.
