Education
Education is one of the most important contributors to progress in the field of urology. The EAU Education Office working through the European School of Urology (ESU) organises post-graduate ESU training courses on general and advanced, clinical and research urology not only during the Annual EAU Congress but also at all national congresses in Europe.
In addition, hands-on training courses are organised by the EAU Section of Uro-Technology (ESUT).
The ESU stand-alone initiatives include the annual European Urology Forum in Switzerland, an educational event which focuses on the most recent developments in urology. The ESU also organises large and small-scale master classes in collaboration with the EAU and the European Board of Urology (EBU, see 
www.ebu.com).
The annual ESU-Weill Cornell Masterclass in Urology is a collaborative programme between the ESU and Weill Medical College of Cornell University, New York (US).
The ESU is developing the Virtual European School of Urology, that will allow its participants to access on-line EU-ACME accredited training

| Get ready for the European Urology Forum 2012 | ||
 | On February 4-7, Davos is hosting the European Urology Forum 2012. Taking place mere weeks before the Annual EAU Congress, the Forum has an identity all of its own. The meeting strives to look beyond established boundaries, and the Urological Challenge that takes place over the course of the Forum’s days is a unique chance for young urologists to prove themselves before a panel of experts. | |

| Urological residency in Slovakia | ||
 | The split of the former Czechoslovakia into two different states in 1993 has led to the independence of Slovakia, a landlocked country located in the heart of Europe. Bridging the east and west, Slovakia has a population of just over five million people. Like in most European countries, formal medical study takes about six years at the university, after which graduate students can choose their residency from a wide range of medical specialties. | |

| Young Urologist? Fuel your ambition! | ||
 | The EAU Congress is the place to be if you are looking for the best of international urology science in Europe. However, for young urologists and those who are still doing their specialist training, this gigantic event may appear somewhat intimidating. After all, where else can you meet the world’s leading experts in pretty much anything related to urology, watch them debate on strategic as well as practical issues, and follow their courses? Some of the science may even appear a little bit removed from your career stage… | |
