Code of Conduct

The organisers are committed to making this meeting productive and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, nationality, religion or academic position. 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, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography (including screenshots) or recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race or religion.

· All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual or sexist language and imagery is not appropriate.

· Be kind to others. Be respectful and do not insult or put down other attendees. Critique ideas not people.

· Discretion should be used when posting any meeting pictures to social media sites. If participants wish to share photos of a speaker on social media, we strongly recommend that they first get the speaker’s permission. Participants may also share the contents of talks/slides via social media using the hashtag #H0soton unless speakers have asked that specific details/slides not be shared.

Any participant who wishes to report a violation of this policy is asked to message, in confidence, one of the committee designated points of contact: Lisa Kelsey, Tomás Müller Bravo or Matt Middleton. If asked to stop inappropriate behaviour, participants are expected to comply immediately and may be asked to leave the meeting.

Virtual Meeting Etiquette

· Test your setup (microphone, video, internet connection and screen sharing if presenting) beforehand.

· Mute your microphone upon joining the meeting, and do not unmute unless indicated by the chair.

· Mute your mobile phone and message alerts whenever you are talking.

· Don’t interrupt others. Use the ‘raise hand’ feature on Zoom to indicate that you would like to speak.

· If chosen to raise a question, please introduce yourself.

The above code of conduct is based on the “ESO H0 Code of Conduct” and Code "Euclid meeting Code of Conduct", which was originally based upon the “London Code of Conduct”, as originally designed for the conference “Accurate Astrophysics. Correct Cosmology”, held in London in July 2015.
