On behalf of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and the International Bureau for Epilepsy (IBE), it gives us great pleasure to announce the winners of the Lifetime Achievement Awards, the Social Accomplishment Award and the Ambassador for Epilepsy Awards 2023. All of the award recipients are most notable winners who have worked selflessly with ILAE and/or IBE for many years towards achieving the missions of both organizations. It is people like them that help us close the treatment gap and improve the lives of those affected by epilepsy. We are pleased to see that our awardees come from all corners of the world demonstrating the importance of our regional committees and the work that they do on the ground.
Congratulations to all recipients! We are grateful for your distinguished service and contributions to the epilepsy community.
The awards will be presented during the Welcome Ceremony of the International Epilepsy Congress taking place in Dublin on the evening of 2 September. We do hope that as many of you as possible can join us in person in congratulating them on the night and in celebrating their achievements.
With our best wishes,
Prof. J. Helen Cross, President of ILAE
Dr. Francesca Sofia, President of IBE
