The International Workshop on Shape Coexistence, E0 Transitions, and Related Topics in Florence aims to be a welcoming, respectful, and safe experience for everyone.
The workshop recognizes and promotes the intrinsic value of every person and every group; it encourages dignity, understanding, and mutual respect, and values diversity. This commitment helps make our community and our meetings safe environments. By participating in the workshop, everyone commits to respecting these principles.
Our strength comes from diversity: we promote collaboration among groups with different expertise, welcoming new ideas and perspectives.
We invite everyone to contribute to ensuring that the workshop is a welcoming and respectful place for every participant, regardless of race, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, national origin, ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion. Creating an inclusive environment allows us to fully value the scientific program, foster networking, and preserve the cultural richness of our community.
