Members of the School participated in the 26th East Asian Forum of Nursing Scholars (EAFONS) hosted by The University of Tokyo on March 10 and 11, 2023.

This year’s theme was “Doctoral Nursing Education’s Response to the Unprecedented Time: Toward Sustainable Well-being”. Professor Chia-Chin Lin, Director of the School, talked on “Dreams of Nursing Scholars in Early Career” and was the moderator of various award candidates’ oral presentations. Professor Kelvin Wang Man-ping also spoke at a symposium on “Community-based Participatory Research from Needs Map to Policy” and Assistant Professor Dr Jay Lee Jung-jae at a symposium on “Exploring Qualitative Approaches in Nursing Research”.

The HKU School of Nursing will host EAFONS 2024, which Professor Lin announced at the closing ceremony of this year’s event, alongside an introduction video to the next event.

EAFONS was founded in 1997 by seven member countries including Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan. The HKU School of Nursing is also an Executive Member of EAFONS.
