The Network Conference is the central meeting point for all those engaged in the international recruitment and integration of nursing professionals. It brings together hospitals, language schools, project partners, and other key stakeholders to jointly examine real-world challenges related to language, recognition, integration, and collaboration in everyday clinical practice.
Countdown Konferenz
The Network Conference is deliberately open in its design. It is aimed both at existing partners within the network and at interested parties who would like to gain insight into concrete working approaches and key issues in international recruitment of nursing professionals.
Many of the topics addressed emerge from ongoing collaboration between hospitals, language schools and project partners. The conference provides a framework for sharing practical experience from everyday work, jointly reflecting on it and developing it further.
For new participants, it offers an opportunity to get to know the network, contribute their expertise and assess whether a collaboration would be a good fit.
The Network Conference provides a framework to work jointly on the key transition points in international recruitment of nursing professionals. Experiences from practice, language qualification and project coordination are brought together here, contextualised and further developed.
International recruitment of nursing professionals places high demands on everyone involved, because central steps are closely interconnected. Language preparation, recognition, entry into the country and the transition into everyday nursing practice cannot be organised in isolation without creating friction. When these transitions are considered separately, gaps emerge that affect quality, planning reliability and collaboration.
At the centre are the topics that shape the day-to-day reality of responsible international recruitment of nursing professionals and determine how reliably collaboration functions in practice.
Reliable collaboration in international recruitment of nursing professionals does not arise on a one-off basis, but through a shared way of working that is continuously practiced and further developed within the network. It focuses on the points where language, recognition, integration and everyday nursing practice must be permanently aligned.
A central component of this way of working is the safeguarding of language quality. It is anchored in the Mentoring Program, which is supported by close and trusting cooperation with VFBB e. V. in Speyer. Experiences, materials and professional perspectives flow together continuously and form the basis for realistic language preparation.
The Network Conference makes this existing way of working visible, brings together experiences from the network and provides a structured framework to further develop it collectively.
The network conference is not a traditional congress. It is designed as a working space in which experiences from clinical practice, teaching, and project work are brought together, jointly contextualised, and placed within an overarching framework.
Quality emerges through mutual understanding. In moderated formats, existing standards are reflected upon, experiences are systematically compared, and concrete further developments are initiated that feed back into ongoing collaboration.
The focus is on real processes and concrete challenges from the everyday work of those involved. Questions are discussed along actual workflows and reflected against on-site conditions.
The network conference is not a singular event. It serves as a reference point for continuous collaboration within the network and creates a shared working basis beyond individual project phases.
