By registering for this conference all participants agree to abide by this code of conduct.  Behaviour that violates our code of conduct will not be tolerated and under given circumstances can have the consequence of revoking the privilege to participate in NIBS 2026.

In line with our core values of Equity and Inclusion, NIBS 2026 is committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment that fosters the exchange of scientific ideas, encourages open and respectful dialogue, and is free of harassment and discrimination. We respect each other, take care of each other, and support the success of all.

We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment, or bullying. Symposium participants have a right to belong and a responsibility to treat one another with respect. Acts of discrimination, harassment, or bullying will result in immediate action, and notification of appropriate authorities, if necessary.
