Founded in 1909, the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) is the world’s preeminent association of physicians and other health professionals working towards a world where no persons' life is limited by Epilepsy. Its mission is to provide the highest quality of care and well-being for those afflicted with the condition and other related seizure disorders.

ILAE's mission is to ensure that health professionals, patients and their care providers, governments, and the public world-wide have the educational and research resources that are essential in understanding, diagnosing and treating persons with epilepsy.

The goals of the ILAE are to:

  • advance and disseminate knowledge about epilepsy
  • promote research, education and training
  • improve services and care for patients, especially by prevention, diagnosis and treatment

Founded in 1961 and focused on the social aspects of epilepsy, IBE is the global voice of people with epilepsy, their families and those who care for them. Our vision is of a world where ignorance and fear about epilepsy are replaced by understanding and care.

Our strategic priorities are to ensure that:

  • epilepsy is recognised as a health priority worldwide;
  • human and civil rights of people with epilepsy are protected wherever they might live;
  • people with epilepsy are empowered to maximise quality of life;
  • research into prevention, treatment, care and consequences of epilepsy are promoted.

We collaborate with professional and government partners worldwide, are in official working relations with WHO and have Special Consultative Status on the Economic and Social Committee (ECOSOC) of the UN.

International Epilepsy Day Logo

Epilepsy is more than seizures!

International Epilepsy Day is a special event which promotes awareness of epilepsy in more than 120 countries each year. Every year on the second Monday of February people join together to celebrate and highlight the problems faced by people with epilepsy, their families and carers.

 

This is a day for everyone, no matter where you are, no matter how small your group or large your area, no matter whether you focus on the medical or the social aspects of the disease. We want you to help us celebrate International Epilepsy Day! Let’s speak with one global voice.

The Day is a joint initiative by the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) and the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).
