Speak up! But how?

Updated: Sep 16

Promoting a safe and respectful environment in scientific communities

is crucial for fostering innovation and excellence

Promoting a safe and respectful environment in the scientific community can have a profound and far-reaching effect on society, encouraging researchers from different backgrounds to present their findings openly and honestly. This dynamic interplay of ideas, information and perspectives serves as the crucible in which the most accurate and

exceptional science is forged, making research findings and methods accessible to a wide audience.

"To address inappropriate behaviour in the scientific community and nurture a culture of accountability, individuals must be empowered to speak up. Guidance on preventing and handling inappropriate behaviour at conferences, using case studies and checklists, to build a community that thrives on respect and inclusivity is presented."

Addressing and eradicating inappropriate behaviour in scientific communities is an ethical imperative that demands collective action. To create a supportive and inclusive environment, individuals must be empowered to speak up without fear of repercussions. Mentors, peers and office bearers are responsible for nurturing a culture of accountability

in which inappropriate behaviour is unacceptable. A scientific community that cultivates a positive and inclusive atmosphere can inspire attendees to take their learnings back to their communities.
