AAEU Abstracts

Dear Reader,

By these means, we present to you the abstracts from the 22^nd meeting of the Association of Academic European Urologists (AAEU) that was held in York in the United Kingdom in November 2024. The AAEU is the association of leading academic urologists from Europe, dedicated to research of all aspects of disorders of the urogenital tract. The objectives of the AAEU are to promote the role, the position and the activities of academic urology in Europe. The AAEU tries to achieve this by:

• Promoting clinical and fundamental scientific urological programs and achievements in academic urological departments;
• Providing a forum for presentation and discussion of academic achievements in the field of urology and related areas;
• Communicating these various goals via the annual meeting, assigned journals and communication papers

Every year a two-day meeting is organised in which the members and guests present their own new and original research in every field of urology. The 10 invited guests and the AAEU members discuss the content of each presentation in a plenary setting. This implies that also those urologists that perhaps are not the expert in the field of the presented topics, contribute to this discussion from their own perspective. This results in lively, high quality discussions in which all aspects of the tackled topics are touched upon and highlighted. As such, this is an integrative approach of an urological problem that gives direction for future consecutive research and clinical excellence. This integrated approach is highly appreciated by all participants.

The AAEU tries to balance the annual meeting with respect to type of urological topics, the topographic spread of the participants, gender and colour. In York again, many different topics were presented and discussed.

In total 37 abstracts were presented out of 59 submitted abstracts. Of these, most authors gave permission to publish their abstract in this issue of European Urology Open Science, which we present here. Of the presented abstracts, 23 were about an oncological topic, 3 dealt with urolithiasis, 2 with sexual dysfunction and 2 were about female urology. Education was the topic of 2 and new technologies of 3 presentations.

Dear readers, with this supplement we intend to offer insight in the dynamics of AAEU and we hope that we may welcome you one day as one of our guests.
