These policies follow closely similar policies from ACM and other professional societies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Policy on Harassment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>IFAAMAS is committed to organizing the AAMAS conference and its affiliated events in an environment that is free of harassment for everyone involved: delegates, organizers, conference staff, and reviewers. The AAMAS25 Organizing Committee shares this commitment and will strive to achieve the above goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some examples of harassment are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>inappropriate comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, or religion;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the use of inappropriate imagery in the conference environment (e.g., the use of sexual imagery in talks or in posters);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>intimidation, stalking, following, unwelcome physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the use of overtly aggressive or intimidating behavior or language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>All participants in IFAAMAS events in general and AAMAS25 in particular are asked to embrace our intention to foster a harassment-free scientific community and to understand that IFAAMAS will respond appropriately to incidents of harassment if they occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SAFE AAMAS Volunteers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference commits to appointing at least two trained volunteers who can act as a first point of contact in case of suspected harassment. These volunteers will be recognizable, introduced at the start of the conference, and present for the duration of the conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Report\">What to do if you are the victim of harassment?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you believe you are the victim of harassment or notice that someone else is being harassed at AAMAS25, or have any other related concerns, then please immediately contact one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/index.php\/conference\/organization\/organizing-committee\/#orgcom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local organizing committee<\/a><\/strong> at <a href=\"mailto:aamas2025info@umich.edu\"><strong>aamas2025info@umich.edu<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>one of the following <strong>SAFE AAMAS volunteers<\/strong> in person at the event or by email:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-504\" style=\"width:125px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/ZGhorrati.jpg 1624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Zara Ghorrati<\/strong><br>SAFE AAMAS Volunteer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"mailto:zghorrat@purdue.edu\">zghorrat@purdue.edu<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dennis.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-451\" style=\"width:126px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dennis.webp 320w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dennis-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/aamas2025.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Dennis-150x150.webp 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Louise Dennis<\/strong><br>SAFE AAMAS Volunteer;
