ARCHER2 values the involvement of everyone who engages and interacts with the service. We are committed to creating a friendly and respectful place for people to work, interact and learn.

Part 2. ARCHER2 Code of Conduct

ARCHER2 is dedicated to providing a welcoming and supportive environment for all people, regardless of background or identity. As such, we do not tolerate behaviour that is disrespectful to our staff, or that excludes, intimidates, or causes discomfort to others. We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment based on characteristics that include, but are not limited to, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, citizenship, nationality, ethnic or social origin, pregnancy, familial status, employment, genetic information, religion or belief (or lack thereof), membership of a national minority, property, age, education, socio-economic status, technical choices, and experience level.

Everyone involved in ARCHER2 is required to conform to this Code of Conduct. It applies to all spaces managed by ARCHER2 including, but not limited to, the ARCHER2 machine, service desk, events, workshops, email lists, and online forums such as GitHub and course chat pages. By participating with the ARCHER2 service in any way, participants indicate their acceptance of the procedures by which ARCHER2 resolves any Code of Conduct incidents, which may include storage and processing of their personal information.

Part 2.1 Expected behaviour

All participants in our services, events and communications are expected to show respect and courtesy to others. All interactions should be professional regardless of platform: either online or in-person. In order to foster a positive and professional environment we encourage the following kinds of behaviours in all ARCHER2 activities and platforms:

Part 2.2 Unacceptable behaviour

Examples of unacceptable behaviour by participants in any ARCHER2 activity or platform include:

Part 2.3 Consequences of Unacceptable behaviour

Participants who are asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. This applies to any ARCHER2 platforms and activities, either online or in-person. If a participant engages in behaviour that violates this code of conduct, the organizers may warn the offender, ask them to leave the event or platform (without refund), or engage ARCHER2 management to investigate the Code of Conduct violation and impose appropriate sanctions.

Reporting a Potential Code of Conduct Incident

If you believe someone violated the Code of Conduct on an ARCHER2 platform or activity we ask that you report it. You are encouraged to submit your report by completing the Code of Conduct Incident Report Form. The form may be completed anonymously, or you may include your contact information.

Submit a Code of Conduct Incident Report

ARCHER2 takes all incident reports seriously and will review all reports. A report guarantees review, but not necessarily that an action will be taken.
