Launch of IMPACT Conference Series

About

IMPACT: Innovative methodologies, practice, and advances in clinical and translational nursing

The Nursing and Midwifery team at the University of Luxembourg is launching a new hybrid conference series to exchange evidence-based practices and advances in nursing.

Bringing together nursing and midwifery professionals and researchers with diverse expertise, the event will explore best practices, cutting-edge methods, and techniques, while inspiring innovation in nursing sciences. It is designed for researchers, midwifery professionals, nursing students and staff, nurse academicians, nurse administrators, and clinicians, offering a platform for collaboration and knowledge exchange across various levels of the nursing profession.

Please note that the conferences may be held in different languages (EN, FR, DE, LU) depending on the speaker, and can take place either online or on our Belval campus.
