Confidentiality
At SUM4Products Study Groups and triaging workshops, industry partners present current challenges to academic members of the network. These events are open to all academic members of the network. Given the open nature of these events, it is not possible to ask participants to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in advance of, or during, any events. However, any follow-up work, such as work funded by the SUM4Products short projects with a defined project team, can be carried out under an NDA if needed.
If you have questions about data sharing and confidentiality, please contact the SUM4Products team.
Code of Conduct
The SUM4Products Network+ and partner universities are committed to providing a welcoming, inclusive, and safe community for all. We expect cooperation and support from all participants to help ensure an environment where everyone is treated fairly and where diversity is valued. Participants would be expected to adhere to our Code of Conduct throughout their engagement with the Study Group.
We also direct all attendees to review the ICMS Code of Conduct.
