Mission
EUARS aims to develop a shared international framework for robotic surgery education, simulation-based training, competency development, learning assessment, educational recognition, research and responsible innovation.
Its ultimate purpose is to contribute to patient safety, quality of care and the responsible adoption of robotic technologies across clinical practice.
Vision
EUARS aspires to become an independent international academy of excellence, connecting clinicians, educators, engineers, scientists, universities, healthcare institutions, training centres and technology experts.
EUARS seeks to contribute to a safer, more structured, measurable and evidence-based future for robotic surgery and robotic technologies.
Values
- Patient safety — Education and innovation should ultimately support safer care and responsible clinical implementation.
- Scientific rigor — Frameworks and programmes should be informed by evidence, measurable outcomes and continuous evaluation.
- Multidisciplinary collaboration — Progress requires meaningful interaction between clinical, educational and technology communities.
- Academic independence — Educational priorities, assessment and recognition must remain protected.
- Responsible innovation — New technologies should be evaluated and adopted ethically, transparently, sustainably and according to clinical need.
- Knowledge sharing — EUARS promotes scientific collaboration, responsible dissemination of knowledge and, where appropriate, open science principles.
- Equity, diversity and inclusion — EUARS promotes equal opportunities, gender balance and inclusive participation across disciplines, professions, career stages, institutions and geographical areas.
- International collaboration — EUARS promotes cooperation among professionals, institutions and scientific communities across Europe and internationally.
