Community Agreement

• Our goal is to create a fun and supportive environment, where all participants feel welcome, safe, and included, regardless of mathematical background, gender identity and expression, nationality, ethnicity, race, religion, age, disability, or any other factor.
  
  

• We strongly believe that all participants have something valuable to contribute to the meeting, regardless of background or level of experience, and encourage everyone to ask questions and share ideas throughout all parts of the meeting. In particular, there are no questions that are “too basic”, and it’s perfectly natural to make mistakes. We also encourage everyone to be open to other people’s ideas, and make sure that everyone is heard and included in group discussions.

• There will be space on the name tags where everyone can indicate their preferred pronouns if they want to, and it's important that this is respected. If you are unfamiliar with the practice of sharing and using pronouns, here is a useful guide.
  
  

• We will not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment. If you are being harassed, feel uncomfortable with the way you are being treated, notice someone else being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the organizers, either in person, or by sending an email to applied.algebra.combinatorics@gmail.com. All reports will be taken seriously, and will be handled in the strictest confidentiality.
