The local organisers have provided assurance that QMATH16 will be conducted in accordance with IUPAP principles as stated in the IUPAP resolution passed by the General Assembly in 2008 and 2011.
In particular, no bona fide scientist will be excluded from participation on the grounds of national origin, nationality, or political considerations unrelated to science.
Free Circulation of Scientists: The principle of the Universality of Science is fundamental to scientific progress. This principle embodies freedom of movement, association, expression and communication for scientists, as well as equitable access to data, information and research materials. In pursuing its objectives with respect to the rights and responsibilities of scientists, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) actively upholds this principle, and, in so doing, opposes any discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age. IUPAP should only sponsor conferences and events at institutions and in countries that uphold this principle. If scientists are excluded from attending IUPAP-sponsored international conferences by a host institution or country on the basis of any of these factors, IUPAP should register its concern at the highest level of that institution or country, and should not sponsor any future events in that country until such exclusions have been eliminated.
[ Section 1: IUPAP Conference Policies]
Harassment at Conferences: It is the policy of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) that all participants at an IUPAP-supported Conference will enjoy a comfortable experience, and that they will treat each other with respect at all times.
The conference organisers of QMATH16 have appointed two advisors who are available for consultation from those who have suffered from harassment and who will suggest ways of redressing their problem and an advisor who will counsel those accused of harassment.
You may confidentially contact the following persons if you suffer harrassment in any form at QMATH16:
Simone Warzel, Deputy Spokesperson of the CRC TRR352: simone.warzel@tum.de
Stefan Teufel, Equality officer of the CRC TRR352: stefan.teufel@uni-tuebingen.de
Should you be accused of harassment at the QMATH16 conference, please reach out for counsel to:
Donna Ankerst, Vice Dean for Talent Management and Diversity, TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology: ankerst@tum.de
