Thanks to all!
We did it - Urology Week 2011 was a success! Thanks to all of you for your effort to bring attention to Urology Week and to raise awareness about prostate conditions and urology. From highly-publicised events with television coverage, to personal gestures by individuals, Urology Week has turned into an inspiring movement. We also thank the participants for using this website to register and promote their events.
Urology Week 2011 saw a diverse range of activities taking place around Europe and beyond. Some thirty events were registered on this website. The EAU covered the activities in Antwerp, and above you can see the video of a patients' society at work.
We hope you take the shared experiences of 2011 on board, and start thinking about next year's event. So once again - step up and join the campaign!
Translating diversity into impact
Urology Week aims to create awareness, but awareness is an elusive concept and may work differently for different target groups. Awareness among the general public versus the patients, among the young versus the old: how do we address all these audiences and how do we reach out to them across so many borders to make an impact?
“Creating awareness about urological conditions and urology is something we do every day in our work," according to Prof. Chris Chapple, EAU Adjunct Secretary General. "We can make a bigger impact if we join our forces together!”
Here is a recap of some events which took place during Urology Week 2011.
