Expanding, Bridging, and Unifying Knowledge: A New Era for the Global Voice of Nurses

We are pleased to announce the 2027 International Nursing Knowledge Conference, to be held in conjunction with our conference partner, the School of Nursing at the University of Navarra, in Pamplona, Spain. This is a city known for its rich history, culture, and global connections – just as INKA is rich in history, nursing culture and global connections.

This conference will bring together nurses in practice, education, research, informatics, and healthcare leadership/policy from around the world to focus on advancing nursing knowledge and strengthening the role of clinical reasoning in practice.

This year’s theme, “Expanding, Bridging, and Unifying Knowledge: A New Era for the Global Voice of Nurses,” reflects a shared direction across the profession: connecting practice, education, and research while supporting clearer, more consistent approaches to care.

Participants will have the opportunity to engage with emerging ideas, explore practical applications, and connect with a global community committed to strengthening nursing knowledge systems.

Conference Objectives

• Engage in meaningful dialogue with NANDA-I leaders and nursing colleagues from around the world to explore the enhanced NANDA Classification and the strategic vision, principles, and goals of NANDA 360 as a unified framework.
• Examine and identify opportunities for integrating the expanded NANDA Classification across nursing education, clinical practice, research, health informatics, and health policy, with attention to diverse cultural and healthcare contexts.
• Participate in interactive and scholarly learning sessions that explicitly link nursing knowledge, standardized nursing language, and evidence-informed practice, demonstrating how these connections drive high-quality care and improved patient and population outcomes.
• Strengthen international networking and collaboration among nurses, educators, researchers, leaders, and informaticists to promote the global dissemination, consistent use, and continued development of the expanded NANDA Classification.
• Contribute to a shared global nursing voice by reflecting on how unifying nursing knowledge through NANDA 360 enhances professional identity, visibility, and the impact of nursing on health systems worldwide.
• Explore implementation strategies and real-world use cases of the expanded NANDA Classification and NANDA 360 framework, including facilitators, barriers, and lessons learned from diverse healthcare systems and educational settings.
• Foster innovation and future directions in nursing knowledge development by identifying research priorities, digital integration opportunities (e.g., EHRs, decision-support systems), and collaborative initiatives that advance the sustainability of NANDA 360
