Welcome Message
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are excited to host the 36th ESPU Annual Meeting for the first time in Paris!
This event promises an exceptional program, expertly orchestrated by our scientific chair with valuable support from our reviewers and scientific committee members. The program will span three full days, from Wednesday afternoon until Saturday noon, featuring a rich array of scientific abstract sessions, panels, lectures, and workshops. As usual, our research and educational committees serve as essential pillars for delivering outstanding specific sessions. ESPU Nurses make continual efforts to provide instructive and interactive program.
We encourage you not to miss the opening ceremony on Wednesday, followed by a welcome reception where you can connect with fellow attendees in an informal setting. This year, our congress dinner will take place on Friday, and sitting is limited, so be sure to reserve as soon as possible. Enjoy the long summer evenings in Paris while savoring dinner with stunning views of the city.
We highly recommend extending your stay over the weekend, as Sunday, June 21st, marks "La Fête de la Musique," a vibrant celebration of street music that offers a fantastic opportunity to experience Parisian culture on the longest day of the year. We strongly advise booking your accommodation as soon as possible, as this weekend coincides with one of Paris's busiest times.
Our commitment to supporting the next generation of young pediatric urologists remains steadfast, and we are delighted to see their involvement in various society activities.
The Board takes pride in witnessing our membership continuously grow, particularly with new junior and corresponding members from affiliated societies. We greatly appreciate the willingness of these new members to share their experiences and efforts to enhance the practice of pediatric urology worldwide.
On behalf of the ESPU Board, we eagerly look forward to seeing you and sharing an unforgettable gathering of pediatric urologists and nurses from over thirty countries.
Your insights and suggestions are highly valued, so please do not hesitate to reach out with any proposal or constructive feedback. If there’s anything we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please let us know.
We hope the meeting exceeds your expectations!
On behalf of the ESPU Board.
