+# Code of conduct
+
+> This code of conduct is copied and adapted from the code of conduct used at the
+> [Collaborations Workshop 2020](https://www.software.ac.uk/cw20/code-conduct)
+> (CC-BY-NC 2.5 license) which was adapted from the example policy at the
+> [Geek Feminism wiki](https://geekfeminism.wikia.org/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Policy),
+> created by the Ada Initiative and other volunteers (CC-0 license).
+> The procedure for reporting harassment has been adopted from the Ada Initiative's guide titled
+> ["workshop anti-harassment/Responding to Reports"](http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Conference_anti-harassment/Responding_to_reports).
+
+We value the participation of each stakeholder and want our members and
+participants to our events to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
+Accordingly, all members and participants are expected to show respect and
+courtesy to other members and participants through all communication channels.
+
+To make clear what is expected, all Nordic-RSE members as well as participants,
+speakers, exhibitors, organisers and volunteers at Nordic-RSE events are
+required to conform to the following code of conduct. Organisers will enforce
+this code throughout the event.
+
+
+### Summary
+
+We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do
+not tolerate harassment in any form.
+
+All communication should be appropriate for a professional audience including
+people of many different backgrounds.
+
+Be kind to others. Do not insult or put down others.
+
+Behave professionally. Remember that harassment, unprofessional remarks and
+messages, and exclusionary jokes are not appropriate in Nordic-RSE.
+
+Members violating these rules may have their membership revoked by the board.
+Participants to events violating these rules may be asked to leave without a
+refund at the sole discretion of the conference organisers.
+
+Thank you for making the Nordic RSE welcoming and friendly event for all.
+
+
+### Clarifications
+
+Harassment includes offensive communication related to gender, sexual
+orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual
+images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following,
+harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other
+events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply
+immediately.
+
+Be careful in the words that you choose. Remember that words can be offensive
+to those around you. Offensive jokes are not acceptable in the Nordic-RSE.
+Excessive swearing is not appropriate.
+
+If a member engages in behaviour that violates this code of conduct, the board
+of the association may take any action they deem appropriate, including
+warning the offender or may revoking their membership without refund of the
+membership fee.
+
+If the offender is a member of the board, they will be excluded from any board
+meetings discussing their conduct. In addition to the above, the offender may
+be removed from the board.
+
+If a participant at a Nordic-RSE event violates this code of conduct,
+organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including
+warning the offender or expulsion from the workshop with no refund.
+
+
+### Procedure for reporting harassment
+
+If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have
+any other concerns, please contact any member of the code of conduct committee:
+
+<div class="alert alert-dismissible alert-warning">
+  <p>
+    Here we will list members of the code of conduct committee.
+  </p>
+</div>
+
+Events may have a separate code of conduct committee listed of the event page.
+It is always appropriate to contact any member of either code of conduct
+committee.
+
+Report the harassment incident via email to a member of the code of conduct
+committee. All reports are confidential.
+
+When reporting the event to a code of conduct committee member, try to gather
+as much information as available, but do not interview people about the
+incident. The committee member will assist you in writing the report/collecting
+information.
+
+The important information we need consists of:
+- Identifying information (name) of the participant doing the harassing
+- The behaviour that was in violation
+- The approximate time of the behaviour (if different than the time the report was made)
+- The circumstances surrounding the incident
+- Other people involved in the incident
+
+The code of conduct committee is well informed on how to deal with the incident
+and how to further proceed with the situation.  All of our committee members
+are informed of the code of conduct policy and guide for handling harassment at
+the workshop. There will be a mandatory code of conduct committee meeting just
+prior to the event when this will be reiterated as well.
