CODE OF CONDUCT

Your attendance at the 2024 SET - CORE 2.0 meeting indicates your acceptance of the below Code of Conduct.

​

The NASA Solid Earth Team Meeting (SET) and Earth Surface and Interior (ESI) Community Code of Conduct.

​

The ESI community takes pride in the depth and breadth of its collaborations, bringing together early-career to senior researchers from all backgrounds and disciplines to improve our understanding of all aspects of ESI-funded science. We recognize that equity in our community is critical to the robustness of this science and that working groups, workshops, field activities, and bi-annual meetings enable our community to collaborate over sustained periods, building strong interpersonal networks that promote intellectual exchange and mutual support. This Code of Conduct (CoC) outlines specific expectations for participants at all ESI-supported events. We are committed to providing a safe, productive, and welcoming environment for all meeting participants, including, but not limited to, attendees, presenters, staff, service providers, and accompanying guests. This Code applies to all SET events and participants where the community gathers for the purposes of advancing SET-related goals, including online meetings and virtual attendees, field trips and social events, held at the event venue or off-site.
