IUCr GEDC Code of Conduct Background Expectations of Professional Respectful Behaviour

● Maintain awareness of the conduct of others, and where such conduct violates the code of conduct and impacts negatively on others, intervene directly or alert relevant officials promptly (nominated local organising committee members for conferences, IUCr executive secretary and Gender Equity and Diversity Committee members for IUCr committees). [...] At IUCr conferences and sponsored events, a clear description of the reporting process should be provided on the external website, and at conference sessions, which should also outline the mechanisms that have been put in place and the individuals responsible for implementing the process. [...] The IUCr will take seriously all reports of breaches of this code of conduct and treat all parties with respect and due process without presupposition of guilt. [...] ● The IUCr reserves the right to prohibit those who contravene the code of conduct from attending future meetings and removing them from membership of partner societies. [...] This code of conduct was developed by the IUCr Gender Equity and Diversity Committee (GEDC) and was made with reference to Codes of Conduct developed by other societies and organisations (including the American Crystallographic Association, American Biophysical Society, American Geophysical Association and others).
