Welcome

A Word from the Organizers

Dear researchers, professors, students, and international guests,

It is with great pleasure and honor that the Organizing Committee welcomes you to the XIX Pan American Nursing Research Colloquium. Bringing together brilliant and creative minds from different parts of the world to discuss the theme Nursing Research and Implementation Science: Sustainable Solutions to Strengthen the Workforce and Health Systems is a privilege that reaffirms our ethical and political commitment to nursing, science, education, and the internationalization of knowledge.

We are especially proud to host this important event for the second time. The Colloquium is a biennial event organized by PANMCC and, in 2026, will be hosted by the PAHO/WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Research Development of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing. Its program includes two major components: the pre-colloquium activities, which include workshops and meetings of nursing networks; and the main event, consisting of keynote lectures, roundtables, and research presentations that will address the theme from the perspective of nursing and its contributions to other areas of health and to science.

The XIX Pan-American Nursing Research Colloquium is committed to promoting an inclusive, safe and welcoming environment for all individuals.It is grounded in respect for human dignity and in the appreciation of diversity and equity. Therefore, an atmosphere of respect, courtesy, constructive dialogue, and inclusion is expected.

During these days, we hope this space will serve as a fertile environment for rigorous debate, the exchange of experiences, and the strengthening of nursing at both national and international levels.

We thank each of you for your presence and wish you an extremely productive and inspiring event. Welcome to the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing /PAHO-WHO Collaborating Centre for Nursing Research development!

• Do not handle a high amount of money in public.
• If you need to use an ATM, check if nobody can see your password. In case of failure of equipment, call an identified employee for help.

• If someone falls ill and asks you to go for help, do it, but never leave your belongings with such a person. Even if they say you will be faster.
• When taking a taxi or renting a car, use professional and registered companies.
