Our History
Our History
Founded on Principles of Justice
The International Centre for Applied Ethics and Public Affairs (ICAEPA) was founded in February 2023 as a non-profit organisation to respond to growing ethical concerns around issues of exploitation, inequality, and lack of transparency in medical research, healthcare, and environmental management.
ICAEPA’s founders recognised the need for a dedicated platform to promote ethical decision-making and behaviour in public affairs and to engage with the public around issues related to ethics and accountability.
