Welcome

Welcome to the website on the Specific Support Action (SSA) to establish a European Platform of Nursing Research.

The SSA aims at aligning programmes of high quality nursing research. It brings together departments of national governments and health research development agencies to create a Nursing Research Development Group (NRDG). The NRDG will develop networks to support high quality nursing research over the long term, improving patient outcomes and promoting patient welfare across Europe.

The SSA is financed by the European programme for research and technical development.
