EAVP 2025
Code of Conduct

The Organizing Committee of the 22th Conference of the European Association of Vertebrate Paleontologists (EAVP 2025 hereafter) aims to provide a safe and inclusive environment, with respectful and equitable treatment for everyone. This code is meant to guide delegates, convenors, committees, collaborators, attendees and people with any and all kinds of involvement with the EAVP 2025 Conference.

It is the expectation of the EAVP 2025 that meeting attendees behave in a polite, collegial, correct and respectful manner with each other, with volunteers, presenters and with meeting staff. All personal and electronic interactions should be professional, rational, and mutually respectful in all conference events, both formal and informal. Intellectual property should be respected by not disseminating photographs, recordings, or other reproductions of presentations and/or artwork without explicit permission of the author.

We aim at fostering the principles of prevention, detection, intervention, support reparation, guarantees of non-retaliation, and non-repetition, and we recognize the importance of the intersectional perspective in identifying axis of discrimination and oppression, which include: gender, sexuality, ethnicity, class, age, functional diversity, and religion/creed.

We understand as a violation of the Code of Conduct any behaviour, conduct, act, practice, interaction, or action that may take place in any activity under the EAVP 2025 umbrella that affects or causes damage to a person or a group on the basis of the aforementioned categories. Wide-ranging inappropriate conduct includes professional dishonesty, mistreatment, diminishing comments, derogatory jokes, hate speech, privacy violations, defamation, stalking, threatening, blackmailing, labour harassment, sexual harassment, unwanted, undesired or unauthorized touching, assault, rape, and retaliation.
