Standards for professional behavior

 

HADRON 2021 commitment

HADRON 2021 is committed to providing a safe and productive meeting environment that fosters open dialogue and the exchange of scientific ideas, promotes equal opportunities and treatment for all participants, and is free of harassment and discrimination. All participants are expected to treat others with respect and consideration, follow venue rules, and alert organizers, or staff, or of any problematic situation or anyone in distress. Speakers are expected to uphold standards of scientific integrity and professional ethics. The policies herein apply to all attendees, speakers, students, staff, contractors, volunteers, and guests at the HADRON 2021 and related events.

What is harassment?

Harassment includes speech or behavior that is not welcome or is personally offensive, whether it is based on ethnicity, gender, religion, age, body size, disability, veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other reason not related to scientific merit. It includes stalking, unnecessary touching, and unwelcome attention. Behavior that is acceptable to one person may not be acceptable to another, so use discretion to be sure that respect is communicated. Harassment intended in a joking manner still constitutes unacceptable behavior. Retaliation for reporting harassment is also a violation of this policy, as is reporting an incident in bad faith.

HADRON 2021 and their sponsor institutions prohibit any form of harassment, sexual or otherwise. Harassment should be reported immediately to the HADRON 2021 organizers at hadron2021@nucleares.unam.mx or directly to the HADRON 2021 organizers Aurore Courtoy at aurore@fisica.unam.mx, César Fernández-Ramírez a cefera@gmail.com, or Pablo Roig at paroig@gmail.com

They are not expected to discuss the incident with the offending party. Their confidentiality will be maintained to the extent that it does not compromise the rights of others.
