The European Association for the History of Nursing (EAHN) has announced that the EAHN Annual Meeting 2027 will convene at Heidelberg University, Germany, on 12–13 March 2027. The announcement is a save-the-date: registration, the final agenda and logistical arrangements will follow in due course. Members and colleagues across the field are invited to reserve the dates now.

The EAHN Annual Meeting 2027: Dates and Venue

The meeting will take place over two days, on 12 and 13 March 2027, hosted by Heidelberg University in Heidelberg, Germany. Heidelberg is home to Germany’s oldest university, which lends the gathering a fitting institutional setting for a field concerned with the long history of care.

Practical considerations were evidently part of the choice. The city has strong rail connections to Frankfurt Airport and to other major European cities, which should ease travel for an association whose member organisations are spread across the continent.

What Happens Next

The organisers have confirmed that further information will be circulated in due course. This will cover:

• Registration
• The final agenda
• Possible workshops
• The social programme
• Accommodation and logistical information

No deadlines have been announced at this stage. Consequently, the immediate action for prospective participants is simply to hold the dates.

Related Events and Resources

Scholars planning to travel to Heidelberg may also be preparing work for publication. The call for papers for the European Journal for Nursing History and Ethics 2027 issue remains open, with full manuscripts due in November 2026 — a natural companion to the year’s meeting.

Colleagues working on the other side of the Atlantic may also wish to note the AAHN Virtual Conference 2026, which gathers recent and in-progress work in nursing history.
