Code of Conduct
The Florida Consortium on the Neurobiology of Cognition (FCNC) seeks to provide a respectful and inclusive environment that promotes active and engaging scientific discussions about key issues facing our field. The success of the FCNC meeting depends on the professional and ethical conduct of all attendees throughout all formal and informal sessions of the meeting. Thus, we are dedicated to fostering a culture that welcomes attendees of all identities and career stages. We take seriously any allegations of misconduct, sexual and gender harassment, or any other harmful behaviors inconsistent with a healthy professional and personal environment.
Harassment and disrespect of any sort will not be tolerated and violations may result in dismissal from the conference. We encourage reporting any violations of the code of conduct to the Executive Committee. When a violation is reported, a full meeting of the Executive Committee will be convened to determine the next steps necessary to complete a full inquiry, and again later to decide on a course of action based on the outcome of that inquiry. Confidentiality of all involved parties will be maintained to the fullest extent possible. The Executive Committee may take any of several actions it deems appropriate in the case of credible allegations. Actions can include suspending an attendee’s ability to attend future meetings and referring the allegations to the organization or institution where the attendee is appointed for their review and assessment. All allegations will be reviewed.
