The International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE) was established
in 1961 as an organisation of laypersons and professionals
interested in the medical and non-medical aspects of epilepsy.
The IBE addresses such social problems as education, employment,
insurance, driving licence restrictions and public awareness.
The Bureau also works in close liaison with the International
League against Epilepsy (ILAE), an organisation of medical
professionals involved in the medical and scientific issues of
epilepsy. IBE is funded mainly by membership dues from its
chapters and by financial support from other contributors.
