A reboot for EAU25: Introducing the EAU Square
The EAU has redesigned its own presence in the EAU25 Exhibition, creating a dynamic and interactive area where members and non-members alike can meet up, be informed on the latest projects and ask any questions they might have about EAU membership. Visitors can experience the EAU showcasing its most important initiatives in an interactive and fun way.
The EAU has grown over the last few years, with new offices and projects with a direct impact on patient care and urological practice in Europe. For instance, the Guidelines Office has launched the
UroEvidenceHub, bringing the power of real-world evidence to the urologist’s armamentarium. In order to best showcase these projects and get congress participants involved, this new EAU Square offers an interactive setting that will take (potential) members through our activities, projects and our very identity.
We want to show what we can offer to urologists at any level of their career, and what better way than getting hands on and meeting the people who are working most closely with these innovative new initiatives? Would you like to know more about how we influence policy in Brussels? Or how to contribute to our projects working groups? Come and meet the experts in an informal setting.
Come by, drink a cup of coffee and explore the many activities and booths available at the EAU Square! Just some of the highlights:
- The EAU Guidelines and UroEvidenceHub are joining forces, combining real-world evidence and clinical practice guidelines with the following activities:
