PhD students, professionals and researchers from all over the world were gathered at Universidade Católica Portuguesa to share the results of research projects in the field of Nursing, thus contributing to the development of nursing knowledge and for the translation of knowledge. This edition of the International Seminar on Nursing Research was attended by Christopher Sean Lee (Connell School of Norsing - Boston), Philip Moons (chief editor of the European Journal of Cardiovascular Noursing) and Lisette Schoonhoven (University Medical Center Utrecht).
For Paulo Alves, director of the School of Nursing (Porto) of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, this event “is a transformative milestone, shaping the future of nursing with vision and excellence.”
Divided into several moments, the event included three conferences on different topics that interconnected: “The value of research on Nursing Global Development: heritage and Future”, by Christopher Sean Lee (William F. Connell School of Nursing; Boston College; Professor and Dean for Research); “Editors' expectations of authors: challenges and constraints”, by Philip Moons (KU Leuven; European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursin Editor in Chief); and “The Power of Evidence: Shaping the Future of Norsing Practice”, by Lisette Schoonhoven (University Medical Center Utrecht; Chair of Nursing Science and programme lead of the Master of Nursing Science). For two days, the participants had the opportunity to attend the presentation of various communications, conferences and, moreover, see and evaluate the more than 30 posters exhibited, enriching their knowledge and contributing to the advancement of nursing at a global level.
