  • Discriminatory comments, slurs, or stereotypes.
  • Unwanted sexual attention, inappropriate imagery, or persistent unwelcome contact.
  • Threats, stalking, intimidation, bullying, or deliberate disruption of sessions.
  • Doxxing or sharing someone’s private information without consent.
  • Repeatedly dismissing or interrupting participants in a manner that targets them personally.
TAGRA may take immediate action to protect participants and maintain a safe environment.
conduct_acc 2     Academic integrity and research ethics All participants are expected to uphold common academic standards, including:
  • Proper citation and avoidance of plagiarism.
  • Accurate representation of data, methods, and results.
  • Authorship and contribution practices consistent with disciplinary norms.
  • Disclosure of relevant conflicts of interest where applicable.
Suspected ethical issues may be referred to the organizers and, where relevant, to appropriate institutional channels.
conduct_acc 3     Photography, recording, and privacy (on-site and online) Respect privacy and consent in all congress contexts.
  • On-site: do not photograph or record individuals who request not to be recorded. Avoid capturing sensitive information on badges, posters, or screens.
  • Online: do not record sessions or take screenshots without explicit organizer permission and, where required, speaker consent.
  • Sharing content: do not post slides, papers, or chat transcripts publicly unless the author has granted permission.
If TAGRA conducts official recordings (e.g., keynote capture), this will be communicated in advance.
conduct_acc 4     Reporting concerns and enforcement If you experience or observe conduct concerns:
  • Immediate help: contact on-site staff/volunteers or the virtual room moderator.
  • Confidential report: email [conduct@yourdomain] with a brief description, time, location/session, and any relevant evidence.
  • Urgent safety issues: contact local emergency services first, then notify organizers.
Possible actions include a warning, removal from a session, revocation of access credentials, denial of certification, and/or removal from the congress without refund.
part_reg 1       Valid registration: access is granted only to registered participants using a unique identity (email/account).
part_reg 2       Badge / login: on-site participants must display badges; online participants must use their registered name.
part_reg 3       Non-transferability: registration access is personal and must not be shared.
part_reg 4       Identity consistency: use the same email/name across submissions, payment, and session attendance to avoid certification issues.
part_etq 1       Time discipline: speakers must respect allocated time; chairs may stop over-time presentations.
part_etq 2       Q&A conduct: questions should be concise, relevant, and respectful.
part_etq 3       No disruption: disruptive behavior (on-site or in chat) may result in removal.
part_etq 4       Accessibility: when possible, provide readable slides and describe visuals for remote audiences.
part_acc 1     Hybrid congress rules (on-site + online) Hybrid delivery requires additional coordination.
  • Audio discipline: keep microphones muted when not speaking; minimize background noise.
  • Moderation: virtual room moderators manage chat, speaking requests, and technical flow.
  • Prioritization: chairs may alternate between on-site and online questions to maintain fairness.
  • Connectivity: online participants are responsible for stable connection; record of attendance depends on platform logs.
If a session is interrupted due to technical issues, organizers may provide an alternative format (e.g., rescheduled live Q&A).
part_acc 2     Content sharing and intellectual property Presentations and papers remain the intellectual property of their authors unless explicitly transferred by agreement. Participants must not distribute slides/papers/posters without permission. When discussing work publicly:
  • Cite authors appropriately.
  • Do not share unpublished or confidential data without consent.
  • Respect embargoes and journal submission policies where relevant.
part_acc 3     Use of official communications and channels Official instructions are provided via the congress portal and organizer emails.
  • Follow deadlines for registration, payments (if any), and submissions.
  • Use the official help desk channels for technical issues (rather than session chat).
  • Do not impersonate staff or claim privileges without authorization.
cert_types 1       Certificate of Attendance: for registered participants meeting attendance criteria.
cert_types 2       Certificate of Presentation: for presenters who deliver a scheduled talk/poster.
cert_types 3       Certificate of Contribution: for authors of accepted contributions (optional).
cert_types 4       Committee/Chair Recognition: for chairs, reviewers, and committee members (optional).

cert_rules 3       Valid registration status: participation must not be revoked or suspended.
cert_rules 4       Accurate profile: name/affiliation should be updated before the issuance deadline.
cert_acc 1     Attendance certificate requirements (recommended policy) A common measurable rule-set for hybrid academic events (adjust thresholds as needed):
  • Minimum attendance threshold: attend at least [X%] of congress time or at least [N] sessions.
  • Check-in evidence:
    • On-site: QR/badge scan or signed attendance list.
    • Online: platform attendance logs and/or periodic in-session prompts.
  • One-identity rule: attendance must be under the registered account/name.
  • Engagement rule (optional): completion of feedback survey by [deadline].
cert_acc 2     Presentation certificate requirements Issued when all conditions are satisfied:
  • Scheduled slot: contribution appears in the official program with a presenter assigned.
  • Delivery confirmation: chair verifies the presentation was delivered in the scheduled window.
  • Minimum presence: presenter is present for Q&A unless excused due to technical issues.
  • Content standards: basic academic integrity expectations are met.
cert_acc 3     Authorship and contribution-based certificates (optional policy) If certificates are issued to authors (not only presenters), define policy precisely:
  • Accepted status: contribution is accepted and not withdrawn.
  • Registration linkage: author identity linked to a registered profile.
  • Role clarity: certificate text indicates “Author” vs “Presenter”.
  • Proceedings rule (if applicable): full paper/abstract submission complete by [deadline].
cert_acc 4     How certificates are issued and verified Recommended workflow:
  • Data freeze: profile edits allowed until [date/time].
  • Automated generation: based on attendance logs and chair confirmations.

Tip: Use search to highlight terms anywhere on this page. While searching, the search bar stays fixed at the top.

1) Code of Conduct

Professional, respectful, and inclusive conduct applies to all congress contexts: rooms, virtual sessions, chat, email, and congress-related interactions.

Core principles

    Expected behaviors

      Important: Certification may be withheld or revoked if the Code of Conduct is violated, even if attendance criteria are met.

      2) Conditions of Participation

      Participation conditions ensure smooth operation, fairness, and quality of engagement across hybrid sessions.

      Registration and access

        Session etiquette

          Participation access can be restricted if registration details are inconsistent. Use one identity across congress services.

          Role-based and measurable criteria are provided to reduce uncertainty and prevent disputes.

          Certificate types

            General eligibility rules

              If you require engagement steps (survey, check-in prompts), publish them before the congress begins.
