Welcome to the International Clinical Cytometry Society (ICCS), where we value professional, courteous, and inclusive communication and interaction in all our meeting spaces and events, including online platforms and ICCS-related media. Our community thrives on open-minded dialogue and professional conduct, as it ensures that all participants feel welcome and safe to engage in scientific discourse, collaboration, and education regardless of age, disability, ethnicity, race, religion, gender identity and expression, native language, nationality, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, personal appearance, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

To foster a positive, rewarding, and safe experience for everyone, we encourage all to:

• Treat all individuals with dignity, respect, and empathy, regardless of their background, affiliation, or position within the field of clinical cytometry and pathology.
• Promote an atmosphere of open-mindedness, scientific inquiry, and academic excellence.
• Use inclusive and respectful language when engaging with each other.
• Respectful of differing opinions and experiences.

To uphold our commitment to this agreement, ICCS will create a tool to gather more information about what members of our community might be experiencing regarding diversity, equity and inclusion. Further details will be shared soon, and each submission is confidential and will be carefully reviewed.

Thank you for your commitment to making ICCS a welcoming and inclusive community!
