Thank you for choosing to attend EGI2024. EGI is committed to providing all its event participants with a safe, inclusive, productive, and welcoming event. To provide a safe and productive environment, EGI requires all participants to abide by this Code of Conduct (CoC) at all times at the conference including during social events.
Expected Conduct:
We invite our entire community to contribute to a positive environment, both onsite and online, so that the experience is valuable to one and all. The following behaviours are expected and requested of all participants:
- Behave courteously and professionally;
- Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences;
- Treat all participants with respect, dignity, empathy and kindness regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion;
- Refraining from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour and speech;
- Respecting the physical integrity of other participants;
- Refrain from engaging in unwelcome, unsolicited, and unreciprocated sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, and other physical conduct, comments, or gestures of a sexual nature that has or that might reasonably be expected to be perceived to offend, humiliate, or intimidate another person;
- Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback;
- Vendors and other commercial actors should not engage in unsolicited communication through our online event channels, including but not limited to our community boards and personal messages;
- Reporting suspected unacceptable behaviour directed at yourself or others; and
- Accepting responsibility and apologising to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience.
If you experience or notice any form of harassment, or if someone makes you or anyone else feel unsafe or unwelcome, online or offline, please report it as soon as possible by sending an email to events@egi.eu or contacting a staff member at the registration desk. If an EGI staff member is the subject of your complaint, you can contact the local host at antonio.aloisio@cmcc.it or Paola.Nassisi@cmcc.it. Your report will be dealt with discreetly.
EGI retains the right to take any necessary corrective actions to keep the event a welcoming environment for all participants. Corrective actions may take any of the following forms: verbal warning, expulsion from the event without compensation, and potential exclusion from future events. The decisions in this case will be final.
