Freiburg Nursing Symposium 2027

Effectively Implementing Knowledge

  Freiburg (DE)

Nursing in Germany is undergoing profound change. The shift toward academic training, new role profiles, digital developments, and increasingly complex care structures are opening up new possibilities for nursing care, while at the same time presenting the profession with major challenges.

An increasing amount of nursing research findings, innovative care models, and new educational approaches are becoming available—but their sustainable integration into practice, organizational structures, and teaching is not a given. 

The successful implementation of knowledge and innovations requires more than evidence alone: it requires interprofessional collaboration, supportive organizational structures, nursing education concepts, leadership skills, and a willingness to actively help shape change processes.

In particular, collaboration between nursing management, nursing science, and nursing education plays a central role in this regard. Only by integrating these perspectives can sustainable developments be initiated and effectively incorporated into everyday care practice. Against this backdrop, we would like to discuss the following questions with you—among others—at the 2027 Nursing Symposium on May 12, 2027:

  • How can new findings and roles actually be implemented in clinical practice?
  • What factors promote or hinder change processes? How can competencies be better integrated and innovations established in a sustainable way?
  • What role do education, leadership, and scientific expertise play in the future of nursing?
  • How can we successfully develop nursing into an attractive, modern, and evidence-based profession?

Mark May 12, 2027, on your calendar today and look forward to an inspiring day filled with exciting insights, interprofessional dialogue, and new perspectives on the future of nursing.

Abstract submissions for oral presentations or posters are open from November 1, 2026, through January 31, 2027 .
