The Global Applied Ethics Institute (GAEI) is an international think tank and research consortium focused on ethical issues relevant to business, public policy, and the sciences. Founded in 2011 as the GAE-Network, it connected renowned experts from leading research institutions in Europe, the USA and Asia. Newly established as GAEI in 2016, it continues and expands this mission globally. Under the auspices of the Ethics Centre at the University of Jena, Germany, GAEI promotes ethical discourse and action through research, networking, and consulting.
