Code of Conduct
The ISDSC7 adopts the Code of Conduct developed by the organizers of the 4th International Marine Conservation Congress (published by Favaro et al. 2016) and followed during the 15th Deep-Sea Biology Symposium. The ISDSC has traditionally been a friendly, professional, respectful, and inclusive environment, and we want to keep it that way. All symposium participants, including presenters, sponsors, organizers, and volunteers must agree to this Code of Conduct in order to be allowed to be part of the symposium.
Any behaviors that violate this code should be reported to deepseacoral2019[at]gmail.com. We commit to respond to reports in a respectful and timely manner, while ensuring privacy.
Examples of Expected Behaviors
• Treat everyone with respect and consideration, including symposium participants, venue staff and other hotel guests.
• Communicate openly and thoughtfully with others and being considerate of the multitude of views and opinions that are different than your own.
• Be respectful and mindful in your critique of ideas.
• Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants.
• Maintain a safe and appropriate physical and emotional distance in all interactions.
• Maintain a professional and friendly but non-sexual dialogue at all times with all participants.
• Do not discriminate based on gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, national origin, language, or culture.
• Do not film presentations.
These behaviors are expected by all symposium participants during presentations, social hours, events, parties, and in the internet and social media.
