Word of Welcome
Dear ESPU and SIUP members,
From April 19
th

th
2017 the ESPU will host its 28
th
Annual Meeting together with
our South American Pediatric Urology (SIUP) Colleagues in the Barcelona city. It is our
3
rd
time that we are guests in Spain. We are expecting more than 700 guests and mem-
bers who will participate in an in-depth scientific programme. From the history session
to the state-of-the-art lectures, scientific presentations, poster displays, debates, hands-
on training, educational events and video sessions and of course social get together
opportunities, we will be indulged in the most up-to-date Pediatric Urology information.
The “ESPU team’’, Lale Ak as our Meeting Coordinator and Veronique Michiels our
Administrative Coordinator, Clement Ekstein our Webmaster, Alaa El Ghoneimi our
Scientific Secretary, all other ESPU board members, together with the local host, Chair
of Congress Anna Bujons have worked hard to compose a unique programme in this
great environment.
We are proud to present you with topics and lectures for everyone. We acknowledge our
Pediatric Urology Nurses group for their proper challenging discussion programme and
we are welcoming them during the main programme at any time.
ESPU is expanding and we want to develope: We welcome the Young Pediatric Urology
Group and the Pediatric Urology Research Committee Group.
We are convinced that this years programme will inspire you and will improve your care
for the children with Pediatric Urology problems and their family.
In addition, we hope that also this year, you will catch up with friends and colleagues, and
that you will extend your network.
Barcelona is a unique city, so I hope that you have at least one day before or after the
ESPU meeting to visit the historical places to see and feel the unique art and culture, but
also enjoy the local cuisine.
Guy Bogaert
President of ESPU
