Dear friends and colleagues,

We live in perilous times, and as such, after much deliberation we have made the difficult decision to defer the Friends of Israeli Urological Symposium until next year (July 2021).

The current situation with COVID-19 makes planning for the next few months very challenging and we do not want to put anyone at risk. Given the rapidly escalating health concerns and the current dramatic restrictions on travel, both to and from Israel and globally, we believe that this is a necessary, responsible and appropriate decision.

The FOIUS is a very special conference, and this is very disappointing to all of us. We plan to hold the next symposium a year from now, in July 2021; further details will follow shortly and we look forward to working together and collaborating to create a successful symposium in 2021.

The organizers of the FOIUS thank you for your understanding of this extraordinary circumstance. We will process full registration refunds over the coming weeks.

Best wishes to all of you, and we hope you and your families remain well over the next few months.

Kind regards,

Dr. Jacob Ramon and Dr. Laurence Klotz
