The Research Data Training Camp strives to provide a welcoming space that nurtures participatory learning and collaboration. To keep this space welcoming and to allow everyone involved to benefit, it is important that the training camp be a harassment-free environment for everyone, regardless of technical skill level, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, physical appearance, ethnicity, religion or other group identity.
It is imperative for all involved to remain committed to civil discourse and the free exchange of ideas, both technical and non-technical, with a fundamental respect for the dignity of all persons. Recognizing that this is a shared responsibility of all participants, involvement in the training camp requires each individual to commit to maintaining a positive environment that is safe for everyone.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the organizing team immediately. The organizers may then take any action they deem appropriate to address the harassing behaviour, including warning the offender or expelling the offender from the training camp.
