About the EAUN26 Meeting
The 26th International EAUN Meeting will be held in London on 14-16 March 2026, in conjunction with EAU26. This unique three-day meeting provides the ultimate opportunity to interact with leading urology nursing and medical professionals and to find inspiration for advanced nursing practice to take forward in your own work environment. The scientific programme will bring together the latest developments in research as well as best practice and current clinical guidelines, through interactive sessions and (state-of-the-art) lectures, providing an opportunity to discuss and share your important clinical experiences and practice.

Abstracts
Abstract submission for EAUN26 will open on the 1st of August 2025.

Selected abstracts will be presented during the (video and poster) abstract sessions in London.

The abstract bodies of accepted abstracts will be published on the EAUN26 Resource Centre open access, and in UROsource and in the Congress app two weeks prior to the congress.
Presented abstracts will be published in the International Journal of Urological Nursing if the author uploads the abstract in the Wiley author portal. Presenters receive a notification when the upload is available.

You can save a session or company using the save icon. Saved sessions and companies can be found under “My Programme” and “My Favorites”, respectively. Both can be found in your Profile (accessible from the app’s home page, on the top right). Offline use of the EAU Association App is possible.

Download the EAU Association App for free in the Play Store (Android) or App Store (iOS).

EAU Square
Newly designed, the EAU Booth is now the EAU Square! The EAU staff look forward to welcoming you at the Square and answering any questions you may have about EAU membership or any of the following EAU activities:

  • EAU Guidelines> free copies of the new 2025 EAU Pocket Guidelines for EAU members!

Electricity
The United Kingdom uses a 230-volt AC, 50Hz electrical current, similar to most European countries. However, the UK uses a unique three-pin plug (Type G), not the two-pin continental plugs (Type C or E/F) common in most of Europe.

  • Visitors from continental Europe (including Switzerland) will need a plug adapter to use their two-pin appliances in UK sockets.
  • Visitors from North America will need both a plug adapter and a voltage converter if their appliances are not dual voltage (since North America uses 110/120V, 60Hz).

Emergency Information and First Aid
There is a First Aid unit at the boulevard / Avenida, on the first floor. The units are indicated on the directional signs with the first aid symbol  .
