The International Epilepsy Day is held on the second Monday of February each year. There are 50 million people in the world living with epilepsy, of which 81,000 lives in Sweden. The purpose of International Epilepsy Day is for all the world’s epilepsy associations to jointly acknowledge and highlight the disease and its consequences. The day also includes coordinated information and education efforts to strengthen efforts worldwide for people with epilepsy.

With both national epilepsy federations and medical profession in close cooperation, alongside with cooperation with WHO and with IBE's consultative status in the UN ECOSOC, International Epilepsy Day is the most prestigious epilepsy activity in the world.
