Code of conduct
ISMET is dedicated to creating an inclusive atmosphere among our members. Therefore, we have established a code of conduct, to which we request our members and conference attendees abide.
CO2 neutral conferences: We are growing our own forest!
ISMET wants to act responsible and sustainable and therefore offsets CO2 emissions caused by conference attendance of its members by planting a forest in Alcalá de Henares, Spain.
This project was started for the 2014 EU-ISMET where 70 holm oaks and ash trees were planted to make the meeting with ~200 participants a CO2 neutral event.
