For more than three decades we have worked towards achieving our goals as an entirely independent regulatory organisation. Already today we can see the results! All of our activities and programmes are well-established and recognised internationally as a Mark of Quality.
Our road to success is always under construction: we keep expanding our aspirations, creating our legacy on the way.
“Our mission is to stimulate continuous improvement of standards in education, training and professional development so as to facilitate the best urological care for patients in Europe.”
How do we put our mission to practice? By our actions:
The European Union of Medical Specialists (Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes – UEMS) is a non-governmental organisation representing national associations of medical specialists in the European Union and in associated countries. The UEMS was founded in 1958 and currently represents more than 50 medical disciplines through various bodies and structures. The most important ones are the 43 Specialist Sections (including urology), which represent independently recognised specialties.
We collaborate with national urological associations for the advancement of urology and patient care in Europe.
What’s the difference between EAU and EBU?
The EAU is a scientific, professional and educational organisation. EAU actively promotes the development of urological science and practice. They represent the interests of all its members, urologists and related medical professionals.
The EBU is a non-profit organisation that fulfills supervisory matters. We have independent evaluation tools and authority, as well as broad expertise in urology training standards and requirements.
Shared ambitions
The EAU works as an entirely independent supervisory organisation to ensure neutral and high-quality assessment of their and other European urology-related training activities. By close collaboration and equal strategy the EBU and the EAU achieve universally high urology training and practice standards in Europe.
