Meeting Code of Conduct

The Mathematics in Life Sciences Network is committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive and safe community for all attendees and speakers. We expect co-operation and support from all speakers, attendees and staff to help ensure a harassment-free environment where everyone is treated with courtesy, respect and dignity.

Examples of harassment include but are not limited to:

• offensive or belittling comments related to age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, physical appearance, sexual orientation, socio-economic status and religion;

•inappropriate language (this does not need to be aimed directly at an individual(s) for it to contravene the code);

•deliberate intimidation;

•harassing photography or recording;

•inappropriate physical contact;

•unwelcome sexual or other forms of attention.

Such behaviours are not welcome at MiLS meetings and will not be tolerated.

We also reject complicity that knowingly promotes, encourages, or protects discrimination or unprofessional behaviour on the part of others. Should anyone experience or witness behaviour contravening the Code of Conduct, please intervene where you feel comfortable doing so, or speak to the event organiser. We strongly urge you to report this behaviour through this form: ... or by directly contacting PM-Ops-Managers@nottingham.ac.uk. We will be happy to assist with any concerns you might have.
