projects, directly referring the reader to websites or other resources. In that sense, European Urology Today serves as the glue that holds together all of the EAU’s projects and keeps our members informed. You can also easily share the newsletter with colleagues around the world. As is currently the case, four digital editions of European Urology Today will be prepared and distributed to EAU members throughout the year. A printed edition will still be produced for the Annual Congress. In order to optimise the reading experience for tablets and computers, we have switched to an A4 landscape orientation while largely preserving the familiar layout. In layman’s terms, we have cut each page in half, horizontally. The A4 size also means that each edition can easily be printed if you would like to still have a physical copy in your hospital’s break room.

Dear EAU members, dear reader,
This edition of European Urology Today marks a major shift in the EAU newsletter’s history. For the first time since its foundation over thirty years ago, there will not be a printed edition that is posted to members. While we are of course sad to see it go, we also felt the time was ripe for some changes. This change is part of a wider reconsideration of the EAU’s communications strategy. It’s clear that the future is digital. COVID-19 proved that we could change the way we work, and the way we train, and perhaps that gave us the courage to go ahead with this change. An important part of the decision was that it didn’t fit in the EAU’s sustainability ambitions to ship paper copies across the world. Sustainability and environmental concerns are of course not just felt within the EAU but also in our hospitals. Our scientific journal European Urology and its sister publications turned digital several years ago and that transition can serve as proof that a digital publication can be very successful. The new digital format also has its advantages: it will be much easier to tie together all of the EAU’s
We hope you enjoy reading the new screen- friendly EUT .
