Code of Conduct

IFAAMAS is committed to organising the AAMAS conference and its affiliated events in an environment (physical and online) that is free of harassment for everyone involved, including delegates, organisers, conference workers, and reviewers.

Some examples of harassment are:

  • inappropriate comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, or religion;
  • the use of inappropriate imagery in the conference environment (e.g., the use of sexual imagery in talks or in posters);
  • intimidation, stalking, following, unwelcome physical or virtual contact, and unwelcome sexual attention;
  • the use of overly aggressive or intimidating behaviour or language.

All participants in IFAAMAS events are asked to embrace our intention to foster a harassment-free scientific community, and to understand that IFAAMAS will respond appropriately to incidents of harassment if they occur.
