On July 5, 2024 (Friday), we held the UTokyo Nursing International Conference 2024 (UTNIC 2024) under the theme “Diversity, Inclusion, Uniqueness, and Universality: Toward Global Collaborative Nursing Research.” A total of 162 participants (including graduate and undergraduate students) from eight countries/regions (Indonesia, Australia, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Philippines, The United States, and Japan) met at the Hongo campus of The University of Tokyo. UTNIC 2024 featured a keynote speech by Dr. Hazel Keedle, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Western Sydney University, Australia. The conference included five oral presentation sessions and three poster presentation sessions, as well as lectures by the co-chairs, Dr. Megumi Haruna and Dr. Yuki Miyamoto. The conference ended with an award ceremony, where two oral presenters and two poster presenters were acknowledged. We would like to thank all the participants, cooperators, and related parties for their support and dedication.
