The International Center for Information Ethics is an academic community formed around the exploration of the field of information ethics. Managed by Rafael Capurro and Jared Bielby, ICIE is a platform for an intercultural exchange of ideas and information regarding worldwide teaching and research in the field. It provides an opportunity to meet fellow explorers in the field. It provides news regarding ongoing activities by various organizations involved in the shared goals of information ethics. Participation and membership in the community is free of charge. The success of our community and of the ICIE website is dependant on the efforts and participation of those involved in its formation and continual growth. It is through the sharing of related interests and knowledge with others that ICIE thrives.

The ICIE was created in 1999 by Rafael Capurro. It began as a small group of friends and colleagues but very quickly developed into an international and intercultural platform and currently includes a community of over 300 members from all over the world. In 2001 a cooperation agreement was set up with the Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe (Germany) which provided a new design for our website as well as management support. ICIE organises and co-organises symposia since 2001/2002 and publishes a book series in cooperation with W. Fink Verlag, Munich-Paderborn (Germany). Since 2004 ICIE publishes the International Review of Information Ethics (IRIE)
