The AIP strives for a respectful, professional and tolerant working atmosphere. All institute members and guests should comply with the "Code of Conduct", which serves as a guideline on protection against discrimination, harassment and violence.

The Code of Conduct also applies correspondingly to events organised by the AIP. In this case, for complaints of misconduct, please contact the person responsible for the event, the host or AIPs institute management.

The AIP complies with the European Commission's guidelines on gender equality in the form of a Gender Equality Plan (GEP).
