About IIAE

The International Institute for Animal Ethics is the world’s first and only interdisciplinary international institute for animal ethics, established as an official Dutch non-profit by Ms. Marloes van de Goor in 2015. 

The Greek word for character, êthos (ἦθος), is the root of our modern-day word for ethics, derived from the Greek word ēthikós (ἠθικός), relating to one’s character. Animals refer to all human- and non-human animals. So when we talk about animal ethics, we talk about the character of animals (humans included) and what is right and wrong for us, individually and collectively. At the International Institute for Animal Ethics, we research, provide training, and offer a wide area of possibilities to help human- and non-human animals and businesses refine their character, make quality decisions, and grow ethically into a better version of themselves. 

We work with individuals, companies, and governments. We provide live events, online courses, professional training, assessments, consulting,  research, and reviews. 

We work worldwide. 

No. As the world’s first (and only) interdisciplinary, worldwide operating International Institute for Animal Ethics, we knew from the beginning that we would be entrusted with tasks much greater than ourselves and that’s a responsibility we don’t take lightly. As our work often includes a high degree of sensitivity and confidentiality, we want to avoid even the slightest assumption of dependency and partiality and therefore decided not to accept any donations or funding.

If we can, we are happy to do so. Please contact us to describe your challenge, and one of our staff members will get back to you as soon as possible. You can send us an e-mail or send us a message on WhatsApp.

We gratefully welcome your help. You can help us by:

 

  • Refining your character
  • Taking a course
