The organizers of the International Conference on the Fundamentals of Adsorption (FOA) are committed to making this meeting productive and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of background or identity. We expect all participants to follow the IAS Code of Conduct. We will not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. In addition to the IAS Code of Conduct, we expect participants of FOA to follow these guidelines:
- Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate. Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race or religion.
- All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate.
- Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down other attendees.
Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. Attendees violating these rules may be asked to leave the event at the sole discretion of the organisers without a refund of any charge.
Any participant who wishes to report a violation of this policy is asked to speak, in confidence (to the extent allowed by applicable law), to the conference Chair, <name> (email@address).
