As a representative of your institution the standards and code of conduct of your institution are in effect while at the NCM Annual Meeting, Satellite Meeting and all social events.  As a reminder, while at the NCM Annual Meeting, the code of conduct and professional standards set by your institution are still in effect. 

The Society for the Neural Control of Movement (NCM) encourages open and honest intellectual debate within a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere at the Annual Meeting and through official NCM social media channels.  To help maintain an open and respectful community of scientists, NCM does not tolerate illegal or inappropriate behavior at any annual meeting, including violations of applicable laws of the country in which the meeting is taking place.  NCM condemns inappropriate or suggestive acts or comments that demean or harass another person by reason of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, physical appearance, ethnicity/race, religion (or lack thereof), or that are generally unwelcome or offensive to other members of the community.  Sexual language and imagery, unless related to specific scientific discussions, is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks, workshops, parties, Twitter and other online media. As the NCM Annual Meeting is attended by a wide spectrum of delegates, please be aware of the power dynamic between PIs, post doctoral fellows and students and how that dynamic may affect interactions amongst delegates.

NCM staff will help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the meeting. We value your attendance.

If you are being harassed or impacted negatively, please contact the NCM staff to discuss your concern.

Breaches of this Code of Conduct can result in disqualification from participating in future meetings and events
