About ICE

ICE aims at harnessing the collective strength of a large group of freelance writers, editors, proofreaders and translators who specialise in human resources development.

ICE correspondents cover education related issues in most of Europe, Australia, North Africa and the countries of the former Soviet Union. Our network in the Americas is expanding. We have local correspondents in a number of countries in the Far East.

Our languages

Our working languages are: Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.

Our freelancers

We work with a group of around 50 freelancers. The majority of these are based in Europe but we have affiliated correspondents throughout the world.

None of our freelancers work exclusively for ICE and this is not our aim either. ICE writers work for some of the most respected specialist journals and for a wide variety of national and international newspapers. ICE editors and translators have typically earned their credit working for international organisations.

Affiliated freelancers are scrutinised both on their knowledge of our field of expertise and on their language skills. Which is not to say that there is no space for individual style within ICE. Some of our freelance writers are reporters, some of them are researchers, some of them are both. Others again think of themselves more as copywriters than as journalists. What matters is that we know who of them are good at what. We know who is the right person for any specific task.
