About the International Conference on Environmental Enrichment (ICEE)

  

ICEE Mission Statement

The mission of the ICEE is to improve the wellbeing of captive animals by providing a venue for the exchange of information among the many diverse groups that participate in environmental enrichment. A key feature of the ICEE is the participation and interaction of animal welfare scientists and all those responsible for the care of captive animals. To further this mission, the ICEE Committee organizes a biennial conference in locations around the globe.

ICEE Committee

The ICEE Committee was created in 1995 to ensure the successful continuation of the ICEE conferences.The ICEE Committee oversees all aspects of the application process for future conference hosts, selects future conference venues, advises the current ICEE host upon request, and conducts the business meetings.
