  • 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

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 Isabel Campos at isabel@campos-it.es (CSIC) or Lígia Melo at ligiabredamelo@lip.pt  (LIP).
