Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate at any time (including lunches and social events). Harassment includes verbal or physical abuse, offensive comments, 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.
Be respectful. We endeavour to provide a safe, comfortable and professional work environment. In particular, participants should avoid making insulting comments or jokes that may be damaging to the career prospects of others. All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds.
Racist or sexist language and/or imagery is not appropriate. Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the meeting at the sole discretion of the organisers.
Any participant who wishes to report a violation of this policy may talk, in confidence, to the Points of Contact: Iris Feldt (feldt@stud.uni-heidelberg.de), or Javier Rubio (javier.rubio@ucm.es).
