The policy of the LHCP2024 conference, as for all events sponsored by International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), is that all participants should enjoy a comfortable experience, and that they will treat each other with respect at all times and behave professionally.
All participants are required to comply with the CERN code of conduct.
In case of unacceptable behavior, including personal harassment, the conference organizers may, after due consideration, take the action they deem appropriate, including a warning or expulsion from the conference.

Free Circulation of Scientists
As a IUPAP-supported conference, LHCP2024 implements the IUPAP Policy on Free Circulation of Scientists.
The free circulation of scientists for scientific purposes is a major piece of IUPAP policy. Its policy on this matter which is consistent with the corresponding declaration of the International Council of Science, and was adopted at the 26th General Assembly in 2008 and endorsed by the 27th General Assembly in 2011, states that:
The principle of the Universality of Science is fundamental to scientific progress. This principle embodies freedom of movement, association, expression and communication for scientists, as well as equitable access to data, information and research materials.
In pursuing its objectives with respect to the rights and responsibilities of scientists, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) actively upholds this principle, and, in so doing, opposes any discrimination on the basis of such factors as ethnic origin, religion, citizenship, language, political stance, gender, or age. IUPAP should only sponsor conferences and events at institutions and in countries that uphold this principle. If scientists are excluded from attending IUPAP-sponsored international conferences by a host institution or country on the basis of any of these factors, IUPAP should register its concern at the highest level of that institution or country and should not sponsor any future events in that country until such exclusions have been eliminated.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this policy, please contact Emanuela Barberis (e.barberis@northeastern.edu) and Toyoko Orimoto (t.orimoto@northeastern.edu).
