European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN)

What European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) does

The European Association of Urology Nurses (EAUN) is a non-profit professional association founded in 2000 in Brussels by Ronny Pieters, now headquartered in Arnhem, The Netherlands, with 11 employees. It operates as a constituent body of the European Association of Urology (EAU) and serves registered nurses specializing in urological care across Europe and select international markets, including continence and stoma care nurses, oncology nurses with a urology focus, operating room nurses in urology, and national urological nursing associations.

EAUN's product platform is built around three pillars: (1) an annual International EAUN Meeting (the 27th edition scheduled for March 2027 in Amsterdam) held alongside the EAU Annual Congress, with scientific sessions, hands-on training, poster presentations, and abstract submission systems; (2) evidence-based clinical guidelines (e.g., the 2026 EAUN Guidelines on Intravesical Instillation), offered free to members and non-members; and (3) professional development infrastructure including a fellowship programme, on-demand education, EU-ACME/CNE accreditation services, an awards programme (Ronny Pieters Award, research prizes), and endorsement services for external educational materials. Supporting technology includes the MyEAU member portal, the UROsource content repository, a congress mobile app, and self-serve registration and abstract submission systems.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual membership fees (subscription model), one-time congress registration fees with tiered member/non-member and Early/Regular/Late pricing in Euro (€175-€815), and licensing/royalty income from endorsing external educational programmes. Distribution occurs through a self-serve digital infrastructure (website, portals, apps), direct sales at congresses and the ERUS-EAUN Robotic Urology Nursing Meeting, and channel/reseller partnerships with 12+ national nursing associations offering group membership. Strategic operations partners include Congress Consultants B.V. (registration logistics), K.I.T. Group (housing), and M-Events (presentation management).

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• European Association of Urology (EAU): EAU is the parent and broader professional society that hosts EAUN and runs the umbrella Annual EAU Congress and uroweb infrastructure. It is comparable as a larger pan-European urology organisation, with EAUN functioning as its nursing specialty section.
• European Oncology Nursing Society (EONS): EONS is a pan-European society for cancer nurses, including oncology nurses who treat urological cancers. It is comparable as a larger European specialty-nursing membership organisation with research, education, and congress programmes that partially overlap with EAUN's oncology-nursing members.

Others

• International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN): IAFN is a global specialty nursing association that shares an operating model (membership, conference, certification, advocacy) with EAUN but serves a different clinical specialty. It is included only as a structural analogue for how specialty nursing associations operate, not as a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Australian and New Zealand Urological Nurses Society (ANZUNS): ANZUNS represents urology nurses across Australia and New Zealand, holding annual scientific meetings and education programmes. It is comparable to EAUN as a regional nursing association for the same specialty, with overlapping congress and CPD offerings.
• Urology Nurses of Canada (UNC): UNC is the Canadian association for urology nurses, providing education, networking, and conference programming. It is a direct specialty-nursing peer comparable in scope and operating model to EAUN, serving a defined national nursing constituency.
• Spanish Association of Urology Nurses (AEEU): AEEU is the Spanish national urology nursing association and an EAUN group-membership partner. It competes for Spanish urology nurse engagement and runs comparable training, congress, and guideline activities at national scale.
• Society of Urological Nurses and Associates (SUNA): SUNA is the leading US professional association for urological nurses and associates, offering education, certification, and an annual meeting. It is the most direct international peer to EAUN, serving the same specialty nursing persona with a similar membership, congress, and guideline model.
• British Association of Urological Nurses (BAUN): BAUN is the UK national urological nursing association, organising annual conferences, training, and journals (e.g., the International Journal of Urological Nursing). It directly competes with EAUN for European urology nursing mindshare, abstracts, and sponsors while operating a similar membership model.
• Urologic Nurses Association of the Philippines (URONAP): URONAP is a listed group-membership partner of EAUN and represents Filipino urology nurses. It is comparable as a national specialty nursing association with similar membership and education mandates, and provides a channel for EAUN in Southeast Asia.

Emerging players

• Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society (WOCN): WOCN is a US-based nursing society focused on wound, ostomy, and continence care, areas that closely overlap with EAUN's continence and stoma nursing segment. It is comparable as a specialty nursing organisation with similar education, certification, and conference offerings in an adjacent clinical area.
