Dear Aleksandr Shulyak,
Bruges in Belgium provides the backdrop for the 14th EAU Robotic Urology Section (ERUS) Annual Meeting (ERUS17) to be held from 26 to 27 September 2017.
Internationally known as one of Europe’s best preserved medieval cities, Bruges is fondly called the “Venice of the North” with its picturesque canals and architecture. ERUS17’s venue is the centrally-located Concert Hall, one of the city’s modern architectural gems. This year, the ERUS programme is preceded by the
Junior ERUS-YAU Meeting on 25 September and the European School of Urology (ESU) courses, complementary events that fulfill the ERUS’s goals in education and knowledge-sharing.
Also on the 25th, the Young Academic Urologists and the European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) will hold their own respective
meetings, with the latter organising its third robotic course for OR nurses and RNFAs. In the evening of the 25th, the Industry Session “The technology forum: What’s new in the robotic world” will show the latest developments in this evolving technology, providing participants insights and perspectives on novel equipment and techniques.
ERUS17
The ERUS meeting is the scientific platform for every urologist interested in the latest technical developments and the continuous progress of urological science and practice. The meeting aims to educate the urological community on robotic surgical techniques with the ultimate goal of improving the level of patient care.
ERUS17 will feature high-quality robotic surgery by international experts with interactive moderation. The focus of the meeting will be on practical instructions on robotic surgery with live-surgery sessions, state-of-the-art lectures, roundtable discussions and hands-on training sessions. The highly interactive format of the meeting invites fruitful discussions. A technical exhibition will be held jointly with the meeting, with manufacturers showcasing the latest breakthroughs.
We look forward to welcome you in Bruges!
