Code of Practice

All Maths on Ice participants are expected to aspire and adhere to the following standards of behaviour:

  1. Treat everyone with respect.

  2. Respect your fellow participants by using good practices for intercultural collaborations.

  3. Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.

  4. Provide your true professional identity, affiliation, and, where appropriate, contact information, at registration, and during attendance and participatory sessions, as required.

  5. Do not take screenshots, download the sessions chat, record the sessions, or share them on social media unless you obtained the permissions by the speakers.

  6. Be Accountable: When we as organizers or participants fail to meet these guidelines, we should work together to identify problems and adjust policy and practice together. Anyone not meeting expected, collaborative, respectful behaviour can be immediately removed from the online meeting and may be banned from future seminars, depending on the specifics of the unwelcomed disruptive behaviour.
