International Conference on Environmental Enrichment (ICEE)
ICEE
Mission
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, with
published proceedings,
in locations around the globe.
