Code of conduct

The Organizing Committee of FPSAC 2020 is committed to providing a rewarding and welcoming experience for all. We are committed to ensuring that FPSAC 2020 online is professional and free of harassment and discrimination in all of its events. Furthermore, we are dedicated to creating a supportive environment that benefits from the diversity of experiences of all its participants. We aim to offer equal opportunity and treatment to every participant regardless of their mathematical experience, gender identity, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, age, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, or any other factor.

We will not tolerate any form of discrimination or harassment. If you experience harassment or discriminatory behavior at a conference event, we encourage you to reach out to any member of the organizing committee so we may take appropriate actions to address the situation.

Special rules apply for online conferences. We require that every participant in an online conference represent themselves by the name that they use for their professional work or in conferences. In addition, any speech or imagery that is posted in the chats or forms of the various conference activities must be appropriate for professional work.

Participants who violate this code may be sanctioned and/or expelled from the event at the discretion of the Organizing Committee. Any action will only be taken with the consent of the complaining party.

If you witness harassment or discriminatory behavior, please consider intervening. We need the whole community to work together to make this event the welcoming and rewarding experience for all that we strive to achieve. Thank you for your cooperation.
