The World Endometriosis Society (WES) was founded in 1998 to promote the exchange of clinical experience, scientific thought, and investigation among gynaecologists, endocrinologists, scientists, biologists and other qualified individuals interested in advancing the field of endometriosis.

Through our e-Journal and the World Congresses on Endometriosis we encourage and support collaboration among national and international societies and individuals interested in endometriosis.

The WES is a scientific Society with no link to the industry. We fund our work from our membership dues and from a share of the inscriptions from the World Congresses on Endometriosis.
