The American Epilepsy Society (AES) is the primary professional society for clinical and research professionals specializing in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of epilepsy, seizures, and related disorders. Founded in 1936, AES brings together more than 4,400 members representing the full spectrum of professionals dedicated to advancing more effective epilepsy care, from scientists and patient advocates through health care providers. Our interdisciplinary membership works together with our outstanding team of staff professionals to share knowledge and drive tangible improvements in patient care and the quality of life for people with epilepsy.
Our mission centers on sharing knowledge, fostering continuous learning, discovering and applying innovations, acting through partnerships, and supporting current and future generations of those focused on achieving our vision of eradicating epilepsy and its consequences. Education, research, clinical excellence, and public awareness all align in service of this vision.
As the US chapter of the North American division of the International League Against Epilepsy, and as the administrative home for the Epilepsy Leadership Council (a coalition of more than 30 professional societies, patient advocacy organizations, and governmental agencies) AES also plays an important role in the larger epilepsy community.
