We are committed to making the conference a welcoming, professional, and respectful environment for all participants.
All participants are expected to behave professionally and treat others with respect, regardless of their gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion, age, disability, sexual orientation, academic position, or any other personal characteristic.
The following behaviour is not acceptable at the conference:
-
harassment, intimidation, bullying, or personal attacks;
-
discriminatory or derogatory comments or behaviour;
-
unwanted sexual attention, sexual comments, advances, or other inappropriate conduct;
-
unwanted physical contact or behaviour that makes another participant feel unsafe or uncomfortable;
-
aggressive, threatening, or disruptive behaviour;
-
political campaigning, political propaganda, or statements intended to promote or attack political positions or groups during conference activities.
Scientific discussions and disagreements are welcome. However, they should remain professional and focused on the scientific subject rather than on individuals.
This Code of Conduct applies to all conference activities, including talks, poster sessions, social events, receptions, and informal gatherings associated with the conference.
If you experience or witness inappropriate behaviour, please contact a member of the Local Organising Committee. All concerns will be treated seriously and, where appropriate, confidentially. The organisers may take appropriate action, including asking a participant to leave a conference activity or the conference venue.
By participating in the conference, you agree to follow this Code of Conduct and to help maintain a respectful and professional environment for everyone.
