Our committees
A network of national urogynaecology societies across Europe, working together to raise the standard of pelvic floor care.
Before the institution, there are people
Our committees are how that work gets organised. Each one focuses on a different part of EUGA’s mission — governance, science, education, publication, industry relations, accreditation, or the next generation of specialists — and each is led by colleagues elected or appointed by the EUGA membership.
EUGA is run by clinicians and researchers who are, first and foremost, still practising urogynaecologists, urologists, gynaecologists and nurses across Europe — people who chose to also carry the extra weight of building something bigger than their own clinic or department: a European standard for a specialty that didn’t have one before.
This is not a hierarchy chart. It’s a map of who is quietly making European urogynaecology better, one term at a time.
Executive Committee
