This paper traces the roots and foundations of the Urodynamics Society as a scientific urologic research society back to the postwar information explosion of the 1950s and 1960s. It describes the then‐separate islands of science and urologic practice which gradually became amalgamated through interdisciplinary and crossprofessional collaborations and networks, aided by generous government subsidies and wise university policies.
