The 2026 International Nursing Ethics Conference engages participants to reflect on the intersections among ethics, culture and pandemic and disaster preparedness and response in care practices, education, research, and policy from international, inter-professional, interdisciplinary, and indigenous, perspective.
The 2026 conference will reflect on philosophical, empirical, methodological developments in ethics, culture, pandemic and disaster preparedness and response as applied in care practices and services at all levels. The conference will bring together international, interprofessional, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and indigenous scholarship and perspectives, research, leadership, policy and educational innovations, engaging in reflection and dialogue to develop and strengthen ethically and culturally safe, responsive, resilient, sustainable care, care systems and global health. The programme will provide insights into the wide range of actionable approaches and responses, and we hope all will find their topic of interest to send an abstract and join the conference.
