The consortium partners of the NURIC Project recently gathered for a productive and inspiring meeting, bringing together representatives from Austria, Kosovo, Italy, Greece, and the Institute of Technology in Holon (Israel). This international collaboration continues to demonstrate the power of joint efforts in advancing innovation in digital health and nursing education across Europe and beyond.
The meeting served as an opportunity for partners to share updates, assess progress, and coordinate the next stages of the project’s implementation. A key highlight was the review of the pilot program conducted at Sheba Medical Center, which focuses on developing and testing innovative digital learning modules for nursing professionals. The pilot aims to strengthen nurses’ digital competencies and enhance their readiness to work with advanced healthcare technologies in clinical settings.
Discussions also focused on the structure and timeline of upcoming training sessions, as well as the design of the international evaluation plan, which will measure the project’s impact on participating institutions and learners. The evaluation will ensure that the methodologies and materials developed within NURIC are scalable, effective, and aligned with European standards for nursing education.
A key highlight of the presentation was the introduction of new nano-courses that will be integrated into the nursing The NURIC Project—funded by the European Union—is a pioneering initiative designed to integrate digital innovation into nursing curricula. It aims to create a new model of learning that prepares healthcare professionals to meet the demands of an increasingly digitalized healthcare environment.
By combining academic research, practical training, and cross-border collaboration, NURIC is setting the foundation for a future in which nurses are not only caregivers but also active participants in the technological transformation of healthcare. The project emphasizes digital literacy, patient data management, telemedicine practices, and the ethical use of technology in clinical care.
Throughout the meeting, partners reaffirmed their shared commitment to advancing nursing informatics education and fostering sustainable cooperation among European and international institutions. The exchange of experiences and best practices from diverse healthcare systems—ranging from Austria and Italy to Greece, Kosovo, and Israel—enriched the discussion and strengthened the collaborative spirit of the project.
The NURIC consortium also discussed dissemination activities to raise awareness of the project’s outcomes among healthcare institutions, academic organizations, and policymakers. Future efforts will focus on building a community of practice around nursing informatics and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the developed resources.
As NURIC continues to move forward, the partners remain dedicated to achieving the project’s vision: to empower nursing teams with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to embrace the digital transformation of healthcare. The outcomes of this initiative will not only enhance professional development opportunities for nurses but also contribute to improving patient care and healthcare efficiency through smarter, technology-driven approaches.
This meeting marked another important milestone in the NURIC journey—one defined by collaboration, innovation, and a shared belief in the transformative power of education and technology.
