The International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) is an international scientific organization that focuses on the study of extracellular vesicles (EVs),[1] including exosomes, microvesicles, oncosomes, and other vesicles outside the cell. Established in 2011, the society is a non-profit entity and is now a 501(c)(3) corporation in the United States. ISEV is governed by an executive committee. The current president of ISEV (2016-2018) is Andrew Hill; the founding president (2011-2016) is Jan Lötvall.[2] The society publishes the Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, the only journal devoted to the topic.

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles and standardization initiatives
Dedicated to disseminate research, ISEV has established the peer-reviewed and open access Journal of Extracellular Vesicles.[20] The editors-in-chief are Clotilde Théry (Institut Curie), Peter Quesenberry (Brown University) and Yong Song Gho (Pohang University of Science and Technology). In addition to research and review articles, the journal periodically publishes position papers of the society[21][22] that are meant to advance standardization efforts. In 2014, the Executive Committee of ISEV published a set of minimal requirements that should be expected for definitive publication of EV definitions and functions,[23][24] mirroring similar initiatives in the fields of microarray (MIAME) and proteomics (MIAPE) analysis.
Education
Among other educational initiatives, ISEV has announced a massive open online course (MOOC) on the Basics of Extracellular Vesicles. The MOOC has a mid-2016 launch date and will be available through Coursera. Organized by Cecilia Lässer, the MOOC is co-sponsored by the University of Gothenburg, Pohang University, and the University of California, Irvine.[25]
