Project Details
Description
BACKGROUND
Nurse researchers and leaders are partially responsible for global health needs. While most professors in Nursing Science in Finland are retiring in the coming 5 years, skilled future scientists are urgently needed globally. However, a transition from novice to the independent researcher is challenging. High quality, standardized career pathway with well-developed infrastructure can support success and sustainability in the nursing discipline. Further, the qualities of ideas of ‘a global nursing researcher’, ‘a global mindset’ and ‘a global citizenship’ could be improved.
AIM
The overall goal of this research project is to develop a meta-network of PhD programs in Nursing Science to support young scientists’ post-doctoral careers and the pathway to academic excellence in Finland and China.
SUB-GOALS
- To design a management structure and procedures for the meta-network
- To develop a curriculum with advanced training courses for the academic career development of PhD students and young faculty members
- To implement a hybrid learning platform for training courses in higher education
- To evaluate the impact of the meta-network of PhD programs from the points of view of students, teachers, and universities
- To disseminate the project experiences and impact a wider national and international audience
ANTICIPATED MATERIAL RESULTS
- The meta-network of PhD Programs in Nursing Science and management and procedural structure
- A new curriculum to ensure an academic career pathway toward the post-doc level
- Training courses with new learning material
- A tested and evaluated hybrid learning platform
- Increased visibility and communication of the project
- An interim report and final reports of the project
COURSES
1. From Research to Scientific publication (Responsible persons Professor Riitta Suhonen, Professor Marja Kaunonen, Professor Yu Liu)
2. Academic Leadership and Communication (University of Oulu, Fudan University, Sun Yat-sen University)
3. Advanced Research Methods (Professor Daniel Fong, Professor Maritta Välimäki, Professor Hu Xiaolin, Professor Feng Xianqionq)
4.Writing a Grant Application (Åbo Akademi University, Peking University, Xi’an Jiaotong University)
5. Career Pathway (Central South University, University of Hong Kong, Peking Union Medical College, University of Eastern Finland)
