This code of conduct shall be available in the web page of any conference/workshop organized by AMATS 2025.
The participants should specifically adhere to it when registering for the event. The division organising the event is responsible that it is done this way.
Code of conduct: The organizers are committed to providing an inclusive conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, religion or any other characteristics protected by anti-discrimination laws.
It is the policy of AMATS 2025 that all participants will conduct themselves in a professional manner. Any form of discrimination, harassment or retaliation will not be tolerated. In particular, AMATS 2025 staff, committees, speakers and attendees are expected to:
- Treat others with respect, dignity and courtesy at all times, including on social media.
- Foster a diverse and inclusive environment free from discrimination and harassment.
- Be aware of conscious and unconscious biases that affect who we tend to favor in our decisionmaking and actions (e.g. for nominations, selections, awards).
- Maintain awareness of our own conduct and interaction with others when representing or
participating in AMATS 2025 activities.
Harassment in any form and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes will not be tolerated. Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race or religion.
If you experience or witness bullying, discrimination, or harassment, you are encouraged to immediately contact any person of the AMATS 2025 local organizing committee at the conference/workshop site.
AMATS 2025 will investigate all incidents reported. This may include speaking with the reporting individual and/or alleged victim, and/or (provided their consent) speaking to potential witnesses and the alleged offender. AMATS 2025 may seek other legal or professional advice prior to any follow-up action. Sanctions may range from verbal warning, ejection from the meeting without refund, to notifying appropriate authorities. In the case of AMATS 2025 staff, the corresponding internal protocol will be applied.
This code of conduct is an extension of the AMATS 2025 code of conduct approved by the Rector Council in 2019 (CR38, 20/12/2019).
