Association for Practical and Professional Ethics

The Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) is a non-proft professional organization that supports research, training, and education in practical and professional ethics. It was founded in 1991 with support from Indiana University and the Lilly Endowment to encourage interdisciplinary scholarship and teaching among educators and practitioners.[1] The association sponsors three Ethics Bowls Programs: the International Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl (which holds its IEB National Competition each year at the APPE Annual Conference) as well as the IEB Regionals; the APPE Two Year College Ethics Bowl (which also competes in the IEB Nationals Competition); and the APPE High School Ethics Bowl.[2] The association was hosted on the Indiana University Bloomington campus until mid-2017, when APPE moved to the Prindle Institute for Ethics at DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana.[3][4]
