About
The ISE Code of Ethics is a path-breaking covenant containing guidelines to facilitate ethical and equitable relationships between researchers and local communities. Ratified by the ISE Membership at ICE 2006 after ten years of development, the Code was completed at a special pre-Congress Ethics
Workshop funded by TCF and attended by 40 individuals representing 15 nationalities and 4 indigenous communities.
Within one year, the Code of Ethics (developed in English) has been translated into Chinese, Bahasa Indonesia, Spanish, and Italian, thanks to the commitment of our diverse membership to make it as accessible as possible. Workshop participants and ISE members emphasized the need for complementary materials – i.e., a “toolkit” to facilitate effective implementation of the Code’s principles and practices.
This Group provides a collaborative on-line forum for developing this Code of Ethics Toolkit.
