Code of Conduct

Masters Summit is a space built on mutual respect, rigorous debate, and the belief that every voice deserves to be heard. All participants, including delegates, chairs, executive board members, and guests, are expected to uphold the standards set out below throughout the duration of the conference.

Conduct in Committee

• Delegates must address all parties with courtesy and professionalism, regardless of disagreements in position or policy.
• Personal attacks, discriminatory remarks, or language targeting any individual or group on the basis of gender, religion, caste, nationality, disability, or any other characteristic will not be tolerated.
• Procedural rules as established by the conference Secretariat must be followed at all times. Disputes should be raised with the chair or dais, not resolved unilaterally.

Conduct Outside Committee

• All participants are ambassadors of their institutions and of Masters Summit. Behaviour in social spaces, during lobbying sessions, and at all conference events reflects on the conference as a whole.
• The conference premises and venue facilities must be treated with respect. Any damage caused will be the responsibility of the delegate or their institution.
• Photography of fellow delegates requires implicit or explicit consent. The sharing of any footage or images that could embarrass, harm, or misrepresent another participant is strictly prohibited.

Academic Integrity

All position papers, draft resolutions, and working papers submitted must be the original work of the delegate. Plagiarism or collusion in written submissions may result in disqualification from awards consideration.

Enforcement

Violations of this Code of Conduct may result in a formal warning, removal from a committee session, or expulsion from the conference without refund, at the discretion of the Secretariat. The Foundation's decision in all disciplinary matters is final.

Reporting

Concerns about conduct may be reported confidentially to any member of the Secretariat or to the designated welfare point of contact. All reports will be treated with discretion and acted on promptly.
