2026 Workshop on Machine Learning for Land and Hydrology

Code of conduct 

The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of the conference; these require an environment that recognises the inherent worth of every person and group, that fosters dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and that embraces diversity. We are dedicated to providing a safe, hospitable, productive, and harassment-free and discriminatioon-free environment for everyone attending, regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability, physical appearance, gender, or sexual orientation. In particular, we expect all the participants to use welcoming and inclusive language, to be respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences, to gracefully accept constructive criticism, to focus on what is best for the community, and to show empathy towards other community members. We expect everyone to communicate openly with respect and consideration for others, treating each other as equals. It is important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is neither healthy nor productive.

There is no tolerance for unwelcome, hostile, or disruptive behaviour or speech that intimidates, creates discomfort, or interferes with a person’s participation or opportunity for participation at event. Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. Participants violating these standards may be expelled from this and future events.

If you witness or are subject to unacceptable behaviour, please talk to the workshop organisers.
