AU Robotic Urology Section Certified Curriculum [ERUS-CC] are structured and validated training programs for robot- assisted surgery in urology developed with the intent to reduce sub-optimal clinical outcomes during the surgical learning curve. The implementation of such programs requires a dedicated environment, based on high surgical volume, availability of simulation facilities and presence of certified trainers. Institutions with these characteristics have the status of EAU Robotic Urology Section Host Centre [ERUS-HC]. The aim of the study is to perform a formal review the educational and clinical activity of all ERUS-HC.
