Code of conduct

We believe that our conference should be free from harassment, bullying or hate. Our spaces should feel safe for all those using them, and everyone who participates in an event has a responsibility to help us achieve this.

All attendees, speakers, hosts and volunteers at our events are required to agree with the following code of conduct. We will enforce this code throughout the conference, and we expect cooperation from all participants to help ensure a safe environment for everybody.

We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), or technology choices. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants and event attendees who display any behaviour considered harassment will be asked to leave the event immediately or will be removed from the event by the organisers.

If you witness or experience harassment, please notify one of the organisers (you can reach out to Bishal Deb or Amalia Gjerlov) immediately so that steps can be taken to remove participants. Harassment, bullying and hate speech should be reported to UCL Report + Support, and hate crimes should be reported to the Hate Crime Reporting Centre.
