The chapter year did start in juni ’16, after a special European Conference STTIEC16. The Rho Chi-at-Large has organised different activities e.g lectures, meetings, symposia etc.

With lectures from Professor Anne Marrie Raferty,Prof. Dr. Hester Vermeulen and Dr. ThĂłra Hafsteinsdottir. The Friend of Nursing Award was given to Dr Lucien Engelen.

GAPFON European Regional The staff at Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) has been busy pulling all of the data collected from the meetings into a comprehensive report. As you can imagine from the detail collected just at your regional meeting, summarizing such information from seven regions/eight meetings has been a daunting task. However, with recent input from the GAPFON core group, we are very close to finalizing the report, with a goal of launching it in a web-based electronic format. This launch will coincide with STTI’s 28th International Nursing Research Congress in Dublin, Ireland, 27 July-1 August, 2017. Another communication informing you about where the report can be accessed will be sent to you in July.
