Welcome to the IEA web page, where you will find information about our history, constitution and membership, as well as current and future activities. We have over 1,500 members in almost 100 countries, and we are committed to improving public health through rigorous  epidemiological research.

We are particularly keen on attracting early career epidemiologists to the association, by providing networks for communication and mentorship. We are also working hard to increase IEA visibility in global health initiatives, and to encourage the development of epidemiological capacity in low-income and middle-income countries, through short courses, workshops, conferences and networking.

If you are not an IEA member, we would very much like you to join us. Membership applications are available in this website, with special rates for developing countries, for joint memberships with national or regional associations, for students, and for long-term memberships.

If you are already a member, you will find useful information in this site, including our rapid response column addressing momentous issues in epidemiology, and detailed reports on our ongoing activities.

Cesar Victora, IEA President
