The code of conduct for the EICUG User’s Meeting/ePIC Collaboration Meeting at Lehigh University follows the core principles of the APS code of conduct for scientific meetings:
Professional Conduct:
All participants will conduct themselves in a professional manner that is welcoming to all and free from any form of discrimination, harassment, or retaliation. Participants will treat each other with respect and consideration to create a collegial, inclusive, and professional environment. Creating a supportive environment to enable scientific discourse is the responsibility of all participants.
Inappropriate Actions or Statements:
Participants will avoid any inappropriate actions or statements based on individual characteristics such as age, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, nationality, political affiliation, ability status, educational background, or any other characteristic protected by law. Disruptive or harassing behavior of any kind will not be tolerated. Harassment includes but is not limited to inappropriate or intimidating behavior and language, unwelcome jokes or comments, unwanted touching or attention, offensive images, photography without permission, and stalking.
Reporting Violations:
Violations of this code of conduct policy should be reported to the EICUG and ePIC DEI Chairs, Megan Connors (mconnors@gsu.edu) and Alex Jentsch (ajentsch@bnl.gov), who will confer with the local organizers on appropriate action. Sanctions may range from verbal warning, to ejection from the meeting without refund, to notifying appropriate authorities. Retaliation for complaints of inappropriate conduct will not be tolerated.
By participating in the EICUG User’s Meeting/ePIC Collaboration Meeting at Lehigh, both in person and online, you agree to adhere to this Code of Conduct.
