The Solar Heliospheric Interplanetary Environment (SHINE) group organizes a yearly in-person workshop that gives participants dynamic opportunities to learn, grow professionally, and exchange ideas. SHINE is committed to fostering a professional, safe, respectful, inclusive environment at all SHINE events, where all participants can participate fully in an atmosphere that is free of harassment and discrimination, and where professional behavior is expected. This includes respectful treatment of everyone regardless of gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, age, body size, race, religion, national origin, ethnicity, level of experience, political affiliation, as well as any other characteristic protected under state or federal law.
A. Prohibited and Expected Behaviors
SHINE expects all Participants to comply with the letter and spirit of this Code. SHINE steering committee members reserve the right to enforce this Code against any Participant found to have violated SHINE’s commitment to a professional, respectful, inclusive environment even if a specific behavior is not listed below. This policy applies to all attendees at the SHINE workshop, including scientists, students, guests, staff, and contractors participating in scientific sessions, auxiliary meetings and social events associated with any SHINE gathering or other activity.
Anyone not meeting expected collaborative, respectful behavior can immediately be removed from the current online or physical workshop and may be banned from future SHINE workshops.

UNH will respond promptly and effectively to reports of prohibited conduct and take appropriate action to prevent, correct, and when necessary and possible, to discipline behavior that violates these policies. UNH will make any required notifications to the NSF Office of Equity and Civil Rights, and other external agencies as appropriate.
