In accordance with our belief that the best science occurs when everyone feels safe to contribute and empowered to do so, the Gravity, Particles, and Information Conference strives to provide a welcoming environment in which all individuals feel safe and welcomed.
As such, all participants are accountable for contributing to an environment that is free from:
Verbal, physical, or sexual harassment, violence, and/or discrimination
Intimidation and bullying
Microaggressions, which are comments or other interactions that show bias or reflect stereotypes
Moreover, we expect all participants to:
Think before we speak and act, considering how our words and actions might be received
Consciously check our words and behaviours to ensure we do not exclude individuals or groups
Contribute to the culture of inclusivity, equity, diversity and accessibility
Refuse to participate in actions that offend, embarrass, or humiliate others
Speak up when we see behaviour that makes people feel unsafe or unwelcome
The organizing committee is committed to fostering this environment; unacceptable behaviour will not be tolerated and will be addressed accordingly.
