About the EAU
The European Association of Urology is an organisation that aims to raise the level of urological care in Europe by supporting the field’s experts. It represents European urologists and urology nurses, encourages the adoption of high standards of urological care, and facilitates the widespread publication of the speciality’s research. The EAU has close ties to other national and international urological associations, fostering a global community of urologists.
Executive Committee
The Association is led by an elected executive committee, currently under Secretary General Prof. Per-Anders Abrahamsson (Sweden). The committee is supported by a board, various advisory bodies and offices, as well as a central office, based in Arnhem, the Netherlands.
Tradition and Ambition
The EAU can trace its roots back to the early 1970s, when it was established as a society to unite and support European urologists. For the last two decades, the EAU has grown considerably to some 16,000 members, and it has annually organised a wide range of educational and scientific activities. Its official journal European Urology has the highest impact factor in its field.
The EAU Today
Today, the EAU is developing many new programmes and initiatives, including the patient information forum, online education and the European Urology Curriculum.
