BiPS Conference 2024 Ethos

Creating an inclusive and respectful meeting

We are looking forward to many productive and invigorating discussions at the Black in Plant Science Conference. In order to create a space that fosters open dialogue and where everyone feels welcomed, respected and safe, we expect that all delegates will treat others with consideration and professionalism.  Discrimination, intimidation, hostile conduct and all other forms of harassment will not be tolerated.  

To help create a meeting that welcomes free expression of ideas, please:  

  • Listen to the contributions of everyone with respect and appreciation.  
  • Be open to other participants’ opinions. Critique ideas, not people.  
  • Give feedback constructively and with kindness.  
  • Share your thoughts and be mindful that time is limited and others may wish to speak.
