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.

Join the WES and make a difference!

Your membership of the WES will support the work of the global endometriosis community:

Members contribute to the Society's meetings and publications
Members keep up to date on the latest developments in the field of endometriosis
Members are part of a growing global network of those who seek to improve diagnosis and treatment for women with endometriosis
Members contribute to a strong society which works with the EU, NIH, WHO, etc.
Members receive the WES e-Journal with news and opinions in endometriois
Members receive fee reductions at WES events.

But most importantly: members are part of an international scientific collaboration and exchange of clinical experience, which will ultimately enhance the field of endometriosis and improve our understanding of the disease! Members are the Society. Together we can move the field of endometriosis forward!

The WES mission is to:

1. 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

2. Foster research in endometriosis pathogenesis and treatment

3. Disseminate information about endometriosis

4. Encourage and support collaboration among national and international societies interested in endometriosis.

We achieve this through:

1. Organising the World Congresses on Endometriosis

2. Contributing to and participating in endometriosis symposia at appropriate national and international meetings

3. Publishing the WES e-Journal to our members, in which leading experts in our field contribute with news, research, opinions, and debate.
   
   
4. Collaboration with the World Endometriosis Research Foundation
   
   
5. Coordinating international research networks
   
   
6. Working with national governments and international bodies to get endometriosis recognised as a disease which warrants investment in basic research and awareness campaigns.

These activities enable, 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.
