Fundación Etikos
With an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, Etikos is oriented to accompany institutional initiatives in the field of bioethics, human rights, public ethics, organisational-business ethics, ethics and environmental health, education, health interventions and international cooperation.
To be partners in the generation of knowledge and the creation of evidence through research, monitoring and evaluation; but to focus on the search for strategies to address the social, health and human development problems that confront us (all) morally. It is not just about information, but information that is useful to guide prudent decision-making and excellent performance.
