The WLCG and HSF workshops are community events intended for presentations, networking and collaboration as well as learning. We value a civil and respectful environment which encourages the free expression and exchange of scientific ideas.
The organizers are committed to making this meeting productive and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, nationality or religion. We will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Please follow these guidelines:
- 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 comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race 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.
Should a lapse of professional decorum occur (such as discrimination or harassment), participants asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
Participants are also encouraged to bring issues, in a confidential setting, to the advisors appointed by the conference organisers. The advisors will suggest ways of redressing the matter and counsel the parties involved. The conference organisers may, after due consideration, take action as they deem appropriate, including, in severe cases, expulsion from the conference.
