The International League Against Epilepsy ("ILAE") was started in 1909.[1] Its goal is to improve the lives of people with epilepsy through research.[1] Today the ILAE has more than 150 national chapters, and over 26,000 members, mostly health care professionals.[2] In 1997 ILAE paired up with the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE), and the World Health Organization (WHO) to launch the Global Campaign Against Epilepsy (GCAE).[3]
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.[4]
They run the medical journals Epilepsia, Epilepsia Open, and Epileptic Disorders.[5]
