Call for Application!

Abstract Submission Deadline: Thursday, April 20, 2023

With special excitement and enthusiasm, and on behalf of the School of Nursing and Rehabilitation and the Organization Committee, we are pleased to invite you to present your work at the 7th Qilu International Young Nursing Scholars Forum, June 2-3, 2023.

The Qilu International Young Nursing Scholars Forum (QIYNSF) was first initiated in 2017 to provide a platform to share insights and promote collaborative research among young scholars from multidisciplinary backgrounds and different institutions worldwide. In addition, it is also designated to foster the future of the SDU Nursing and Rehabilitation by expanding our talent pool and attracting young talent scholars to pursue a career at SDU Nursing and Rehabilitation. The past six rounds of QIYNSF from 2017 to 2022 turned out to be a great success. More than 100 PhD students, post doctorate fellows, and early career faculty with multidisciplinary backgrounds who were educated or working in the USA, Canada, England, Australia, Japan, Sweden, and China presented their research to more than 7,000 attendees from the country.

In 2023, we continue to host the 7th QIYNSF to fulfill the forum theme, "Innovation, Collaboration, Promotion, & Navigation". The forum will continue to provide an opportunity to network and create collaborations among young scholars. Attendees will have ample opportunities to learn about recent advances in the field and share their work and ideas with others who are committed to the advancement of nursing and health sciences.
