ICAP promotes dialogue involving the drinks industry, the research and public health communities, government, and civil society, encouraging them to work together.
Most ICAP publications are available online, and many have been translated in part or in full into several languages.
The Dublin Principles represent a first step toward defining the ethical issues surrounding collaboration among researchers, public health, the beverage alcohol industry, and others.
