Expectations and Conduct

Our expectations of all participants at the conference

This EACR virtual conference will bring together participants from across the world in an online event to share their research and learn from each other. We are committed to providing a safe and secure online environment with an atmosphere of mutual tolerance and respect. Below are the expectations we have for all participants at the conference, including speakers, exhibitors and staff.

If the EACR believes that any participant’s behaviour is detrimental to the safety, security or wellbeing of others, we may ask them to change their behaviour or in extreme circumstances we may require them to leave the conference.

Personal and professional conduct

We expect all participants to communicate professionally and constructively, handling dissent and disagreement with courtesy, dignity, and an open mind, being respectful when providing feedback, and being open to alternate points of view.

On a personal as well as professional level we expect participants to treat each other with courtesy and respect. We do not allow intimidating, threatening or harassing behaviour of any kind from anyone.
