For our 36th Annual Congress, we are returning to Italy’s fashion capital after previous successful editions in 2008 and most recently in 2013. The four-day scientific programme includes live surgery, state-of-the-art lectures, case discussions and debates. Thousands of abstracts are submitted each year by emerging scientists and the EAU offers hundreds of them a chance to present their research. For this edition, we are including patient and nursing speakers to the programme, emphasising the multidisciplinary nature of urology.
