Abstract Submission

Abstract submission for EAU27 will open on 1 August 2026. 

High-quality scientific content is what brings thousands of delegates to Europe’s largest urology congress each year. By submitting your abstract(s) to EAU27, you’ll have the opportunity to publish, present, and discuss your research with a highly engaged, professional audience.

All abstracts are reviewed anonymously by expert reviewers selected by the EAU Scientific Congress Office. Each year, around 6500 abstracts are submitted by urologists and healthcare professionals from around the world – with approximately one-third accepted for presentation.

Accepted abstracts that are presented at the congress will be eligible for publication in the European Urology Journal Supplement after the congress. Please note that presentation at EAU27 is a requirement for publication.

Late-breaking abstracts are intended for high-impact research that was not complete or available by the regular submission deadline, 1 November, 23:59 CET.  Submissions must present novel, time-sensitive data of major scientific importance — such as results from pivotal clinical trials or breakthrough studies — that could not have been submitted or presented earlier. Late-breaking abstracts are subject to stricter selection criteria and must include robust, final data at the time of submission. Preliminary or incomplete data will not be accepted.

Like other abstracts, the information and data must not be published elsewhere prior to the meeting. Only abstracts that meet these standards will be considered for late-breaking presentation.

Placeholder abstract
Authors are required to submit a placeholder abstract by the regular submission deadline. The placeholder needed to include a provisional title, author list, and a brief description of the study's objective and rationale. Full abstracts which include results and conclusions must be submitted by the late-breaking deadline. Placeholder abstracts that are not completed during the late-breaking period will not be considered. 

Please note the following important conditions:

• Submissions that do not meet the criteria for late-breaking abstracts will be automatically rejected.
• Placeholder submission is done at the author’s own risk. Acceptance is not guaranteed, regardless of placeholder submission.
• The Scientific Committee will not respond to claims or disputes related to the acceptance or rejection of placeholder submissions.

Authors who did not submit a placeholder abstract by the regular submission deadline may still submit late-breaking abstract, provided it fully meets the late-breaking criteria outlined above.
