Anti-harassment Policy and Code of Conduct
The IRMMW-THz 2020 conference is committed to providing an environment that is conducive to the free and robust exchange of scientific ideas. This environment requires that all participants be treated with equal consideration and respect. While this conference encourages vigorous debate of ideas, personal attacks create an environment in which people feel threatened or intimidated. This is not productive and does not advance the cause of science. All participants in this conference are therefore expected to conduct themselves professionally and respectfully.
All forms of bullying, discrimination, and harassment, sexual or otherwise, are prohibited in the IRMMW-THz 2020 conference. This policy applies to every individual at the event, whether attendee, speaker, exhibitor, award recipient, staff, contractor or other. It is also a violation of this policy to retaliate against an individual for reporting bullying, discrimination or harassment or to intentionally file a false report of bullying, discrimination, or harassment.
