Wolfson College / Centre for Global Epilepsy
Researchers from academic institutions in Africa, South America, the United States, and Europe congregated to celebrate the launch and demonstrate their commitment to global epilepsy research and care.
Based at Wolfson College within the University of Oxford, and generously supported by the BAND Foundation, the Centre for Global Epilepsy will address the global burden of epilepsy, particularly in resource-limited settings. The centre collaborates with key research institutions and epilepsy clinics worldwide, linking expertise from high-income settings with those in resource-limited environments to drive advancements in epilepsy research, diagnosis, treatment, and care. In alignment with the World Health Organization’s Intersectoral Global Action Plan on Epilepsy and Other Neurological Disorders, the centre aims to foster global learning on epilepsy, provide immersive research opportunities in Oxford, and serve as a multidisciplinary hub for knowledge exchange.
