INUS, the International Neuro-Urology Society, is a non-profit scientific society founded in 2015 by experts in neuro-urology from all around the world with now 295 members from 42 countries. Our aims are to raise awareness for neuro-urology and to increase its future presence in order to provide the best possible care for neuro-urological patients worldwide by education (course, seminars, lectures, videos), by research and by founding regional chapters in all major countries/regions. INUS is the only society, which focuses exclusively on neuro-urology. We welcome as members everyone – doctors, nurses, physiotherapist and others – who are involved in neuro-urological care and research. Visit us on our homepage www.neuro-uro.org.
