Code of Conduct

We are focused on having a diverse, fair, and inclusive team and work environment. Team members support each other and help out when we see someone physically or mentally struggling. We work respectfully with people from different backgrounds, experiences, and nationalities. To collaborate more efficiently and ensure reproducibility, we implement the principles of open data and open science.

We are adopting The Carpentries Code of Conduct for our work environment. Violation of the code of conduct will not be tolerated. A short summary of the Carpentries Code of Conduct:

We are dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all people, regardless of background or identity. By participating in this community, participants accept to abide by The Carpentries’ Code of Conduct and accept the procedures by which any Code of Conduct incidents are resolved. Any form of behaviour to exclude, intimidate, or cause discomfort is a violation of the Code of Conduct. In order to foster a positive and professional learning environment we encourage the following kinds of behaviours:

• Use welcoming and inclusive language
• Be respectful of different viewpoints and experiences
• Gracefully accept constructive criticism
• Focus on what is best for the team
• Show courtesy and respect towards other team members and colleagues

We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and harassment-free experience to everyone. This statement was developed with the goal of affirming our shared values of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and is grounded in our team's commitment to everyone’s personal and scientific growth and development. This is a living document that we can and will revisit.

Safe, inclusive, and harassment-free environments don’t just happen: they are created by both 1) day-to-day interactions we all have with each other and 2) ensuring that DEI is embedded in the group’s longer-term strategic decisions. It is the responsibility of all members of our group to work together to create and maintain a safe, inclusive, harassment-free environment for all.
