About the European Association of Urology
For almost 40 years the EAU has addressed the most pressing issues of urological care in Europe, through its scientific and educational initiatives, as well as its publications.
The EAU delivers training, stimulates research, organises exchanges and broadcasts information. EAU History books record the evolution of urology as a specialty, and the EAU Guidelines support urologists in their day-to-day practice.
More than 16,000 professionals have joined the EAU and together we create and explore numerous opportunities for professional growth and knowledge-sharing.
EAU Support Fund
In 2000, the EAU Board founded the Support Fund, aiming to provide medical equipment to urological facilities which lack finances. In the twelve years of its existence, the EAU Support Fund has been able to provide support - urological equipment - to countries such as (amongst others) Georgia, Macedonia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Ukraine but was also able to contribute in the aftermaths of the earthquakes in Turkey and China.
