Semi-Live Publishing

Over the last decade, Semi-Live has become one of the most recognized global platforms for communicating interventional and surgical procedures. Its innovative concept combines optimal patient safety, clear and concise demonstrations, and critical, detailed interaction with the surgeon. 

In Urology, Semi-Live meetings have evolved into highly successful outreach events: following the philosophy ”Connect the Unconnected”, colleagues from around the world have contributed their expertise, knowledge and skills to this unique project. Furthermore, the on-stage and extracurricular discussions foster new national and international relations on both a professional and personal level.

To carry these achievements into an organized and structured academic future, 'Semi-Live Publishing GmbH' was founded in Zurich, Switzerland, in 2024. Its activities encompass all projects related to the Semi-Live ecosystem: 

• The European Foundation for Urology (EFU)
• The extensive video library of past Semi-Live events
• Moderated gateways to digital spaces for professional and patient education

The core principles of Semi-Live Publishing are simple and safe: integrity, competence, confidentiality and transparency. To ensure this pathway, all content is curated and moderated by a highly skilled and dedicated professional team committed to Swiss ethical and data protection standards.

In essence, Semi-Live Publishing is building bridges within a medical ecosystem of continuously evolving, evidence-based expertise—between experts and the next generation of surgeons, between colleagues from diverse cultures and backgrounds, and between physicians and their patients.
