Code of Conduct

ESCRS and MCI are committed to enabling an ESCRS iNovation® Day in which everyone can participate in an inclusive, respectful, and safe manner. We value each member and want all guests to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.

Accordingly, we expect all attendees to show respect and courtesy to the other participants. All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience, that includes people of different backgrounds. ESCRS iNovation® Day attendees are solely responsible for their actions.

Disclaimer

We believe that our different identities make us powerful as a community, and organise our teams’ work accordingly. However, part of the ESCRS iNovation® Day content might be user-generated, and you may find other delegates’ or participants’ communications, graphics, audio files or additional information inappropriate, offensive, harmful, inaccurate, dishonest, misleading and/or deceptive. In this case, please, report an incident as described below.

Behaviour

We ask that in the interest of open and honest participation, you:

  1. Behave in a way that creates a safe and supportive environment for all ESCRS iNovation® Day participants, including the organisers, moderators, attendees, and speakers, via all communication channels, including social media.
  2. Commit to a respectful curiosity, open-minded participation, and a positive, inclusive attitude, showing empathy and tolerance for people who may not share your opinion nor understand your views. Please, don’t engage in any form of harassing, offensive, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or threatening speech or behaviour, including (but not limited to) relating to race, gender, gender identity and expression, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, or physical appearance.
  3. Comply with the instructions of the moderators, ESCRS iNovation® Day organisers, etc.
  4. Comply with all applicable laws.

Consequences

Breaches of this Code of Conduct may result in disqualification from participating in ESCRS iNovation® Day but also future events.

Reporting an Incident

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the organiser by email: escrs.inovation@mci-group.com.

Thank you for helping us make this a welcoming and friendly environment for all.
