The Epilepsy Association is an organization that works to promote knowledge and understanding about epilepsy. The association supports epilepsy research through grants, which can be up to NOK 400,000, and helps to develop recommendations for better care for people with epilepsy, especially in care homes. The organization also has active involvement from its members in various research projects, which contributes to increased insight into the condition.
In addition to research support, the Epilepsy Association organizes Nordic meetings with a focus on status epilepticus, a serious form of seizure. The association also offers counseling services for people who have questions about epilepsy, and works continuously with information and awareness about the disease. Through these activities, the organization seeks to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy and their relatives.
