Research Plans

Do you have an idea for a project that will…

• Improve the quality of your daily work in urology care?
• Turn a new or unique aspect of nursing care into a research project?
• Evaluate developments that have taken place in your urological field?
• Turn practical clinical issues in nursing into a research project to help resolve them?
• Or do you have a small practical project that you would like to develop into a research project?

All the projects of the nominees will be discussed in a scientific session, thus creating the possibility for all participants to learn from other projects, through feedback and discussion. The winner will be chosen by the jury and will receive  € 2,500 to start his or her research project. The prize will be handed over in the Award Session on Monday afternoon, 24 March 2025.

We hope that many of you will use the opportunity the EAUN presents to you. Remember, also small research can change the urological nursing world!
