We, as proud representatives of the Dutch and Belgium Lowland’s, cordially invite you to the 2026 ICS Annual meeting in the city of Maastricht, the Netherlands!
In light of the ‘cross border’ nature of science we too ‘go beyond boundaries’ by putting our hands together within the organisation of the 56th Annual Meeting of the International Continence Society.
As “neighbouring” countries, we have a record of close and strong working relationships. In addition, an established history in incontinence and urology research and a large and extended national and international network. Therefore, we would be honoured to host this prestigious meeting in the middle of both of our countries and in a place which is regarded as the true heart of Europe; the beautiful city of Maastricht!
