International League Against Epilepsy

The International League Against Epilepsy was started in 1909. Its goal is to improve the lives of people with epilepsy through research. Today the ILAE has more than 150 national chapters, and over 26,000 members, mostly health care professionals. In 1997 ILAE paired up with the International Bureau for Epilepsy, and the World Health Organization to launch the Global Campaign Against Epilepsy.
The ILAE produced the "2017 ILAE Classification of the Epilepsies", and its more detailed follow-up papers, by a number of specialist clinicians, all published in Epilepsia. This replaces earlier classifications of epilepsy syndromes produced by ILAE.
They run the medical journals Epilepsia, Epilepsia Open, and Epileptic Disorders.
