Diversity and Inclusion

VCIP is committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful, and welcoming environment where everyone can freely share ideas, engage constructively, and build meaningful connections. Our mission is to provide a supportive platform that empowers researchers from diverse backgrounds to present their work, collaborate, and drive innovation without fear of discrimination or harassment. We uphold a zero-tolerance policy toward unacceptable behaviors such as discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or disrespect in any form. Every participant deserves an experience characterized by mutual respect and thoughtful, constructive dialogue. Should you witness or experience any concerning behaviors, or if you need support, please contact our Diversity and Inclusion Chairs (jhko@skku.edusamira.afzal@aau.at).

We are specifically committed to:
  • Ensuring all papers, presentations, and posters are accessible and inclusive for every participant.
  • Recording keynote sessions and making them available after the conference for broader accessibility.
  • Hosting non-technical talks or panels to engage a wider audience.
  • Providing travel grants for committee members to facilitate diverse participation.
  • Offering a variety of meal options (including Halal, Vegetarian, and other dietary needs) during coffee breaks and banquets.
