The Central European Meeting (CEM)

brings together a multinational, multidisciplinary community of urologists, oncologists, radiotherapists, and all other interested specialities. It is under the auspices of the Central European Urologic Society (CEUS), the national societies of Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia, as well as the Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Department of Urology of the Medical University of Vienna, on 26th and 27th April 2024.

For approximately 24 years, the CEM has been a successful platform for urological science and education for countries in central Europe. From its inception, it served as a stage for sharing knowledge and know-how between central European countries. This year, we have the CEM in a more modern structure to meet the ever-evolving regional urologic health, education, and scientific needs. Henceforth, the CEM's mission will be to serve as a platform for knowledge transfer, experience exchange, continuous learning and capacity building to empower the next generation of urologic leaders in central Europe.
