Code of Conduct and Friendly Space Policy
The present code of conduct aims to illustrate the minimum behavior requirements for
participation in the public symposium “Aeropolitics. On contemporary forms of aerial power”
to be held from August 28-30, 2025, at the Teatro dell’Architettura in Mendrisio and at the
Eranos Foundation in Ascona. Its purpose is to create guidelines that ensure respect and
mutual support among individuals, sanctioning, if necessary, aggressive, offensive,
discriminatory behaviors, or those that threaten the physical or mental safety of individuals.
In all public spaces, both physical and discussion-based, hosting the symposium
“Aeropolitics: On contemporary forms of aerial power,” respectful, polite, collaborative, and
constructive behavior is required. The organizers are committed to ensuring a harassmentfree experience. No form of harassment, including intimidation, stalking, and unwanted
attention towards conference participants, will be tolerated, and any person, whether internal
or external to the event, who violates these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the
conference at the discretion of the organizers.Consequences and Sanctions
If one or more of the aforementioned behaviors or similar actions are enacted, the
conference organizers reserve the right to take any measures they deem appropriate,
including, initially, a warning and the removal of the offender from the conference, and
subsequently, involving law enforcement authorities.
It is noted that the organizers have appointed a security contact person responsible for
managing unacceptable behaviors.
