Policies - ESEB | European Society for Evolutionary Biology

ESEB is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and respectful environment. Our Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct outline our values and the standards that we expect all our members, officers, board and committee members and congress participants to adhere to. If you experience, or are aware of, any form of inappropriate behaviour within the context of ESEB activities, and if you want to report this, or speak to us about it, you can contact our confidentiality advisor Ms. Joanne Harding (Workforce Window Ltd, joanne@workforcewindow.co.uk). In contacting our confidentiality advisor in this way, your name would not be communicated further and no actions would be taken without your consent. However, the confidentiality advisor may report the case in anonymized form to the ESEB Steering Committee.

You can also report or speak about a case of (potential) inappropriate behaviour directly with the ESEB Steering Committee (ellen.decaestecker@kuleuven.be) or with the ESEB Office Manager Dr. Ute Friedrich (office@eseb.org); your case will then be brought to the attention of the Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is responsible for handling complaints, which may include involving an external party or our confidentiality advisor to investigate the case, and for deciding on appropriate actions.
