Welcome Message

Dear Members of the Korean Society of Endourology and Robotics (KSER),

It is my great honor to extend my sincere appreciation to all KSER members for your unwavering dedication to advancing urology and our shared academic mission. Through your continued commitment and support, our society has strengthened its presence not only within Korea but also across the global urological community.

Against this remarkable momentum, it is a privilege to announce that the 2026 KSER Academic Festival will be held in Busan at BEXCO. The year 2026, traditionally regarded as a time of vitality, renewal, and forward momentum, symbolizes an ideal opportunity for our society to pursue new growth and transformation. I hope the meeting will serve as a meaningful inflection point, guiding our society toward new growth and transformation.

The Academic Festival will take place from July 9 to July 11, 2026, and will feature a comprehensive program showcasing the latest scientific insights, surgical innovations, and clinical expertise. We have prepared a wide range of sessions to facilitate meaningful exchange among clinicians, researchers, and global experts.

Our host city, Busan, is Korea’s premier hub for the maritime industry, logistics, and international exchange, a dynamic and open environment well aligned with the vision of our society. BEXCO, one of Asia’s leading convention centers, will provide an optimal setting to strengthen our academic excellence and global connectivity.

In 2025, KSER achieved a significant milestone with the launch of the Video Journal ‘TiER’, establishing a robust platform for ongoing dissemination of clinical knowledge and surgical education. Additionally, our long-standing Video Contest has continued to grow, drawing increasing participation from international colleagues and elevating our global profile.

In year of 2026, I look forward to seeing your outstanding surgical videos, creative research contributions, and active engagement throughout the meeting.

As we gather in this dynamic and forward-looking year, I sincerely hope that the 2026 KSER Academic Festival will enrich your academic journey and provide a valuable venue for collaboration and exchange. I very much look forward to welcoming you to Busan and sharing an inspiring and meaningful experience together.

Thank you.
