Code of Conduct
The organizers are committed to making this conference productive and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, nationality, or religion. We will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
As part of the registration process, attendees are required to agree to adhere to this Code of Conduct.

Imperial College London takes very seriously its duties to protect academic freedom and freedom of speech. This is to facilitate robust discussion. At conferences we would expect all such discussion to adhere to high academic standards and to be conducted in a respectful manner.
Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate. 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 or belittling comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, physical appearance, body size, ethnicity, or religion.
All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate.
Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees.
For any conference hosted on an Imperial campus, organisers are reminded that, although the College is a public space, Imperial holds the right to remove any person who does not adhere to the Code of Conduct.

If you observe someone making you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, please tell them so, and remind them of the Code of Conduct.
If you are hesitant about addressing the person yourself, report it as soon as possible to a member of the organising committee - see contact information below. The Committee is committed to addressing and resolving the matter to the best of their abilities.
Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Inclusion (DEAI) Statement
We are committed to sustaining diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusion, thus we want to organize a conference environment that is welcoming and safe for all. Therefore, inclusion of diverse participants, including attendees and speakers, is critical to the scientific and educational integrity of conferences.
