Healthcare systems worldwide are facing significant challenges arising from demographic changes, technological innovation, and digital transformation. In this evolving environment, nursing has expanded beyond patient-centered care to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of healthcare through professional expertise, leadership, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Advanced nursing practice, in particular, is essential to strengthening sustainable healthcare systems and improving the health and well-being of populations globally.

The Eulji International Nursing Conference 2026 will provide an important forum for exploring new directions in advanced nursing practice, sharing innovative achievements in education, research, and clinical care, and strengthening global collaboration beyond national and cultural boundaries.

The conference brings together distinguished scholars and healthcare professionals from Korea, the United States, Japan, Taiwan, and other countries to share insights and experiences on a broad range of topics, including advanced nursing practice, nursing education, digital health, and artificial intelligence in nursing, while fostering sustainable global networks and strengthening international collaboration.

Eulji University remains committed to advancing nursing science and strengthening international cooperation. As a global institution dedicated to improving human health and well-being, we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities in education, research, and service while contributing to the advancement of healthcare worldwide.

We hope that this conference will open new possibilities for the future of nursing and serve as a meaningful catalyst for strengthening international solidarity and cooperation toward more sustainable healthcare systems.

Thank you.
