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.

The WES mission is to:

WES achieves this through:

Organising the World Congresses on Endometriosis

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

Publishing the WES e-Journal to our members, in which leading experts in our field contribute with news, research, opinions, and debate.

Collaboration with the World Endometriosis Research Foundation

Coordinating international research networks

Working with national governments and international bodies to get endometriosis recognised

These activities encourage, enable and support collaboration among national and international societies and individuals interested in endometriosis - and the more of us there are, the more successful we will be!

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

We therefore invite you to join and support this global collaboration of those who wish to work together to solve the puzzle that is endometriosis!
