be held from Monday, April 26 to Thursday, April 29, 2021 at Paciﬁco Yokohama, until Tuesday, December 7 to Friday,December 10, 2021.
As the theme of the 109th Annual Meeting, we have chosen “Cosmos Inside of Urology ‒ Diverse and Profound Expertise.”and their patients are of both sexes and all ages from infants to the elderly. A single course of treatment may include both
drug therapy and surgery. Device development and basic research are also underway, making urology an exceptionallydiverse calling. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that we urologists ourselves are also a highly varied group interms of skills, attributes, and personalities. As we are also engaged in both reproductive medicine, which concerns thebirth of new life, and the end-stage treatment of cancer patients, the overall values of our contemporary society, including
its social, religious, cultural, and economic aspects, are naturally reﬂected in the medical care we provide. This Annual
Meeting will emphasize urologyʼs unparalleled combination of specialization and diversity, both conveying to our younger
colleagues the worldview that has emerged as a consequence and giving rise to new worldviews by posing the question“What is urology?” and building a platform on which to consider its future direction.
The actual program will include a broad variety of up-to-date educational lectures, symposia, and workshops in the current specialist ﬁelds within urology, as well as interdisciplinary themes beyond the boundaries of our own area. We are alsoplanning to hold not only joint sessions with the AUA/EAU, but also the ﬁrst ever joint sessions with the Society of Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgeons (GURS) and the 58th Annual Congress of the Japanese Society of Pediatric Surgeons,
which was to be held at the same time in Paciﬁco Yokohama North. As well as focusing the programs in each specialist area
so as to give each day a speciﬁc theme, we are grouping related events together and making a range of other eﬀorts toensure that the meeting is as useful as possible for participants. To overcome the limitations of our medicine-based worldview, the program will incorporate a number of Special Lectures, Invited Lectures, and “Views from the Cosmos” Lectures
given by speakers in a range of diﬀerent non-medical ﬁelds including art, literature, religion, and economics, and I hopethat these four days will leave a lasting impression on everyone who takes part.
I look forward to receiving a large number of abstract submissions and to welcoming as many as possible of you there.
