Data:	2023
Resum:	In contemporary times, the online learning process has become indispensable for healthcare education. In this direction, the European School of Urology (ESU) has taken the challenge to implement new technologies to bring down knowledge barriers. Web-based seminars (webinars) are one of the tools that help us move towards such inclusivity, and in front-facing COVID-19 pandemic, when face-to-face meetings were forbidden. Data from ESU webinars was collected from 2016 to 2022. We described the trends through years of: a) number of webinars per year; b) number of oncological versus non-oncologi-cal webinars per year; c) number of registrations per year; d) attendance rate; e) YouTube visualisations. We also analysed audience demographics and COVID-19 impact. We found a 60% increase in webinars launched per year with a trend towards more non-oncolog-ical webinars. A 94% rise in the number of registrations and an 85% increase in the attendance ratio from 2016 to 2022 was observed. The mean YouTube visualisations per webinar decreased over 200%. Among registrations, we had a 3:1 male: female ratio, 53% were older than 40, and a 51% were of European pre-cedence. COVID-19 positively impacted webinars with a remarkable increase on the amount of webinars launched, number of registrations and attendance ratio. Webinars are a powerful tool to spread healthcare knowledge, bridging the gap in medical educational access. COVID-19 was a determinant that reinforced its implantation, but our data show that this new learning tool had a positive uptake, and has come to stay.
