Conference Policy

Language

The official language of the workshop is English. No simultaneous translation will be provided.

Pictures

Please note that taking pictures during the sessions is allowed, unless indicated otherwise by the presenter or the poster author. Persons who will not observe this rule will be excluded from the session by the chairpersons.

Smoking Policy

CMP is officially a “No-smoking-Event”. Note that smoking is banned in public buildings and private businesses – including restaurants, pubs, shops, public transport, entertainment venues and workplaces.

Social Media Guidelines

We support the use of social media to network with your colleagues and friends attending the meeting. Taking pictures in oral and poster sessions at the conferences is allowed, unless indicated differently by the author on one or all of their slides or their poster. Hence posting pictures or videos of presentations (in parts or as a whole) carrying a “no picture” symbol on any social media platform, blogs, or websites, etc., is strictly prohibited. Do not capture or redistribute data presented at conferences as this may jeopardize the subsequent publication of the data in a scientific journal. Powerpoint presentations marked with a “no picture” symbol must not be photographed under any circumstances. Do respect journal embargo policies and the work of your colleagues as we promote the presentation of unpublished results. The conference organizers reserve the right to use images taken at the conference with your photograph and/or likeness on social media. The conference organizers are NOT responsible for individual attendee’s use of your image or likeness.

Behavior policy

CMP 2024 seeks to foster a welcoming and productive environment. Harassment—sexual or otherwise—is antithetical to healthy scientific exchange. Delegates are expected to exhibit appropriate professional conduct in their interactions with all individuals whom they encounter in connection with their professional roles, including colleagues, students, researchers, laboratory and support staff, grantors, administrators, and others in the scientific community. Inappropriate professional behaviors include but are not limited to:

Discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, color, age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, religion, disability, marital status, or other legally protected characteristics, and harassment or disparagement based on gender or other protected characteristics; Physical contact of any form that is uninvited and, in the situation, inappropriate, and unwelcome or coercive sexual attention; Intimidation, stalking, abusive, or threatening behavior; Yelling at, or personally insulting colleagues or others in the scientific community, verbally or physically; Retaliation against individuals who raise conduct concerns or valid scientific criticism; Sales-oriented, self-promoting, or otherwise inappropriate comments.

The CMP organizers reserve the right to assess whether an individual’s behavior is consistent with these conduct expectations and, based on that assessment, the right to deny participation in the conference. We will take a zero tolerance policy and inappropriate behavior will result in immediate delegate exclusion from the entire conference without refund.

Integrity

Delegates are expected to comply with the highest ethical standards such as honesty and courtesy. They should conduct themselves with appropriate behavior and attitudes. Professional competence should be maintained which involves advancing knowledge and understanding of new scientific developments. Delegates are expected to: (i) abide by the prevailing ethical and legal norms of their profession; (ii) strive for objectivity in their professional activities through recognition, acknowledgment, and mitigation of intentional and unintentional biases; (iii) Act responsibly toward colleagues, the wider community and the public at large; (iv) treat colleagues and researchers with respect and courtesy, based on principles of equality and mutual respect for those with differing worldviews or from different cultures; (v) share research results and ideas honestly, giving proper credit for others’ contributions to their work; (vi) protect the privacy of individuals, families, and communities and maintain the confidentiality and security of genetic information and biospecimens; (vii) respect the confidential nature of research data entrusted to them.; (viii) follow best practices and abide by applicable laws in creating, storing, accessing, transferring, and disposing of personal health information and biospecimens; (ix) act fairly and provide complete, accurate and timely information to their colleagues, to the public, and to the media; (x) claim expertise only in fields where they have the necessary depth of knowledge, especially when contributing to public discussion or policy debate; (xi) not to make statements that are false, deceptive, or fraudulent concerning research, practice, or other work activities, or those of persons or groups with whom they are affiliated; (xii) present personal opinions as such; (xiii) disclose any potential conflicts of interest; and (xiv) report findings, including negative findings, accurately, completely, without distortion.
