ISMRM Attendee Code of Conduct
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. BY REGISTERING FOR THE EVENT, YOU ACCEPT OUR ATTENDEE CODE OF CONDUCT.
The ISMRM (“The Society”) aim to promote research, development, education and policy formation in the area of magnetic resonance in medicine and biology and related topics. The Society is a diverse society of trainees and professionals from across the world, with widely varying availability of resources and differing issues in the practices of medicine and research. We expect all members to promote an inclusive and supportive environment at the annual meeting that encourages sharing of ideas and collaboration, through these and similar behaviors:
- Engaging with people from different regions, backgrounds, levels of training, subspecialty areas of expertise, and career level.
Certain behaviors are contrary to the principles of the Society and the goals of the workshop. Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to:
- Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.
- Physical or verbal abuse of any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, Central Office staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest. Examples of verbal abuse include, but are not limited to, verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, national origin, inappropriate use of nudity and/or sexual images in public spaces or in presentations, or threatening or stalking any attendee, speaker, volunteer, exhibitor, Central Office staff member, service provider, or other meeting guest.
- Disruption of presentations during any scientific, plenary or educational sessions, in the exhibit hall, or at other events organized by ISMRM at the meeting venue, hotels, or other ISMRM-contracted facilities or throughout the virtual meetings.
- Continuing to initiate interaction (including photography or recording) with someone after being asked to stop.
- Publication of private communication without consent.
The Society has zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, racism or harassment, including but not limited to sexual harassment by participants or our staff at our meetings. If you experience harassment or hear of any incidents of unacceptable behavior, the Society asks that you inform Anne-Marie Kahrovic, Executive Director, at anne-marie@ismrm.org so that we may take the appropriate action.
The Society reserves the right to remove any individuals violating the Code of Conduct from the session or meeting, in response to any incident of unacceptable behavior, and the Society reserves the right to prohibit attendance at any future meeting, virtually or in person.
