The organizers of the GWADW 2025 workshop are fully committed to it being an inclusive event, and as organizers we will do everything in our power to make it a safe, productive, and welcoming space to all attendees. All participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, speakers, volunteers, exhibitors, faculty, staff, students, service providers, and others are expected to abide by the GWADW code of Conduct.
The mission of the GWADW workshop is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary research on the detection of gravitational waves. The discussions generated may arouse debate and strong disagreements may occur. Our goal is to encourage the discussion while maintaining respect for others.
All participants are expected to:
- Treat each other with respect
- Communicate openly with respect, critiquing ideas rather then individuals
- Alert GWADW organizers or staff if you see a dangerous situation or someone in distress
- Respect the rules and policies of the meeting venue Unacceptable behavior includes but is not limited to:
- Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination of anyone in any form
- Physical or verbal abuse in any form
- Unwelcome sexual advances or comments
- Intimidating or hostile comments or conduct
Consequences: Anyone requested to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. GWADW staff (or their designee) or security/local police may take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, including immediate removal from the meeting without warning or refund.
All unacceptable behavior should be reported to the workshop chair (David Tanner) or members of the local organizing committee. Incidents may be reported via email or in person.
