Congress Code of Conduct

Our expectations of all participants at the Congress

The EACR Congress will bring together participants from across the world to share their research, learn, and discuss. We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment at the congress with an atmosphere of mutual tolerance and respect. Below are the expectations we have for all participants at the congress, 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 venue.

Electronic devices
All devices should be switched to silent mode during scientific lectures to avoid disturbance for the speaker and other participants.

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.

Participants are not permitted to canvass other participants or to distribute flyers.

Children
For safety and insurance reasons, under 18s are not permitted in the Congress venue at any time, except when travelling directly to or from the onsite childcare facility.

Safety and security
For security purposes, participants must wear their congress badge at all times when in the venue. Personal items should not be left unattended.
