Diversity & Inclusion

Open Statement


The open exchange of ideas and the freedom of thought and expression are central to the aims and goals of the AutomotiveUI 2018 conference. The organizers of AutomotiveUI 2018, aim and commit to providing a harassment-free, accessible, and pleasant conference experience with equity in rights for all. We want every participant to feel welcome, included, and safe at the conference. Moreover, we will do our best to accommodate specific needs such as accessibility, or dietary requirements. We cannot promise to solve every issue, but will try our best.

We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants. Harassment includes but is not limited to overt and/or covert acts of:
  • Verbal accusations or bullying
  • Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following both in person and online
  • Harassing photography or recording
  • Sustained disruption of talks or other events
  • Interference with a person’s participation or opportunity for participation
  • Inappropriate physical contact
  • Unwelcome sexual attention
  • Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behaviour
We expect all interactions between AutomotiveUI 2018 members to be respectful and constructive, including interactions during the review process, at the conference itself, and on social media. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference (without a refund) at the discretion of the conference organizers. A response that the participant was “just joking,” or “teasing,” or being “playful,” will not be accepted.

Anyone witnessing or subject to unacceptable behavior should notify individual members of the AutomotiveUI 2018 organizing committee.

General Chair AutomotiveUI 2018,
Birsen Donmez
