The Young Academic Urologists (YAU) of the European Association of Urology (EAU) aims to promote and perform high-quality research to provide high-quality evidence for the best urological care, as well as to promote educational programmes to boost European training standards and forge a platform for close international cooperation for the future urology leaders in Europe and beyond.</p>\u0000<p>One of the goals at the YAU is to develop an open academic curriculum accessible to all EAU members. This curriculum strives to be pan-European, impartial, and of the highest quality, covering from basic to advanced topics in research skills, and led by consolidated experts in the field. For this purpose, a survey was developed to build the foundations of the project.</p>\u0000<p>We created an on-line survey made of 11 questions using the SurveyMonkey platform (http://www.surveymonkey.com/). This cross-sectional survey study aimed to assess the design of a training curriculum for academic research. As there is no validated survey in this regard, the YAU board reviewed the survey before its distribution. The survey was a self-administered questionnaire that collected demographic variables, including age, gender, country, years of experience post-residency, and work setting. No personally identifiable information was gathered. Respondents were tasked with evaluating the potential content of the YAU academic curriculum (full survey available in the Data S1). The survey was distributed in three rounds: initially on 17 and 20 April 2023, with a reminder in May 2023, via mailing lists of the YAU (<i>N</i> = 186). Only complete surveys were included in the final analysis. We adhered to the Checklist for Reporting Results of Internet E-Surveys (CHERRIES) guidelines as recommended by the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research (EQUATOR) network [<span>2</span>]. As no identifiable personal information was collected, it was deemed exempt from formal Institutional Review Board approval [<span>3</span>].
