Connection details

The links will be provided to the registered participants only.

The meeting will be held on Zoom platform. Please install the Client from [1]. Alternatively, Zoom can be run from a browser. Zoom will allow for interactions with the speakers and taking part in the discussions.

The talks will be recorded and made public on YouTube unless a speaker clearly objects to this.

We will also use Wonder platform for communication outside of the sessions. The channel will be open 24h and participants are invited to use it for informal discussions and smaller group meetings throughout the entire week of the workshop.

There is also a Slack workspace named Black Hole TOM Workspace, we encourage participants to use that medium during and after the workshop for further communication.

Code of Conduct

Every participant of the 11th OPTICON Gaia Science Alerts Workshop is asked to follow the rules below:

• Behave professionally. Harassment and sexist, racist, or exclusionary comments or jokes are not appropriate. Harassment includes sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, sexual attention or innuendo, deliberate intimidation, stalking, and photography or recording of an individual without consent. It also includes offensive comments related to individual characteristics, for example, age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, nationality or religion.
• All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including people of many different backgrounds. Sexual or sexist language and imagery are not appropriate.
• Be respectful and do not insult or put down other attendees or facilitators of the event. Critique ideas, not people.
• Should a participant witness events of bullying, harassment or aggression, we recommend that they approach the affected person to show support and check how they are. The witness may also wish to suggest that the person report the inappropriate behaviour. However, it is up to the affected person alone whether or not they wish to report it.
• If participants wish to share photos of a speaker on social media, we strongly recommend that they first get the speaker’s permission. Participants may also share the contents of talks/slides via social media unless speakers have asked that specific details/slides not be shared.
• Participants can report any violation of these guidelines to any member of Workshop Organizing Committee (WOC) in confidence. If asked to stop inappropriate behaviour participants are expected to comply immediately and, in serious cases, may be asked to leave the event. WOC will not tolerate retaliation against anyone reporting violations of this code of conduct.
• These rules are in line with the IAU anti-harassment guidelines and the EAS ethics statement.
