ELSI aims to be a safe and productive environment that fosters open dialogue and the free expression of ideas, free of harassment, discrimination and hostile conduct.

To achieve this goal, you, as a member of ELSI, take on the following responsibilities:

1. Behaving in a professional manner when acting in a professional capacity:

1.1. Treat everyone with dignity and respect, in a fair and equitable manner.

1.2. Be mindful that perception of misconduct varies from person to person.

1.3. Be considerate of different cultural backgrounds that may have different social codes.

1.4. Maintain/help maintain positive group interaction during discussions.

2. Responding to experiences, observations or claims:

2.1. Know what constitutes misconduct. When in doubt, ask.

2.2. Report experienced or observed misconduct to prevent future misconduct.

2.3. Acknowledge that not reporting observed misconduct normalizes and perpetuates this behavior.

These guidelines apply to ELSI members at all times and places when acting in a professional capacity and to anyone hosted by ELSI, on the ELSI campus, or attending an ELSI event.
