The European Space Agency strives to create a positive work environment where all people are treated with respect and dignity. In the context of ESA Science workshops and conferences, all participants are expected to help create an environment at the meeting and all associated activities that is professional, inc lusive, and in which everyone is treated with respect. 


All participants are therefore requested to follow these guidelines:

  1. All participants are expected to behave professionally and to be respectful – critique ideas not people.
  2. All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience taking into account the many different backgrounds and perspectives of the participants. 
  3. Participants may share the contents of talks/slides via social media unless speakers have asked that specific details/slides not be shared. If participants wish to share photos of a speaker on social media, it is strongly recommended that they first get the speaker’s permission


ESA does not tolerate unprofessional or inappropriate behaviour or statements. This includes but isn’t limited to: sustained disrupt ion of talks, comments related to individual characteristics, background or identity, and photography or recording of an individual without consent.

We thank you for helping us making the X-ray Quasi-Periodic Eruptions and Repeating Nuclear Transients workshop a welcoming, respectful, and interesting meeting for all.
