We’re thrilled to invite you to the NANDA-I Conference 2025 in beautiful Lisbon, Portugal, where nursing professionals from around the globe will gather under the theme “Transformative Nursing: Knowledge in Motion, Synergy in Practice.”
This collaborative event, hosted in partnership with the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and Boston College, promises to be an extraordinary opportunity for learning, networking, and professional growth.
Here are seven reasons why this year’s event is a must for anyone in our profession.
1. Groundbreaking Keynote Presentations
We open the conference with Dr. Danny Willis, Dean of the University of Rhode Island College of Nursing, speaking on “Well Becoming: A Nursing Phenomenon.” He brings decades of expertise to the stage. His insights will challenge our understanding of nursing theory and practice.
We are also honored to welcome Dr. Jane Flanagan, who will address the crucial question: “Is there room for nursing knowledge in the future of interdisciplinary care?” As the Editor of the International Journal of Nursing Knowledge and a distinguished Fellow of NANDA-I, Dr. Flanagan brings unique insights from her extensive experience in nursing theory-guided research and practice.
2. Global Networking Opportunities
Connect with nursing professionals worldwide in intimate roundtable discussions and social events. You’ll learn how nursing practice varies across different healthcare systems and cultures.
You will also build lasting relationships with colleagues who share your passion for advancing nursing practice. These connections often lead to future collaborations, research partnerships, and even job opportunities.
3. Cutting-Edge Research Presentations
