ICCC Policies
The Association for Computational Creativity (ACC) strives to maintain the highest standards in the management of the annual ICCC conference. This aim is reflected in the association’s criteria for appointing conference chairs (both general chairs and programme chairs) and in the actions it takes to increase the diversity of its community and the opportunities afforded to its members. The programme chair is specifically tasked with maintaining the quality, fairness and transparency of the reviewing process, which is conducted in a double-blind manner to ensure equality of treatment for all. The association’s policies are designed to foster talent within the community, by providing opportunities for enthusiastic members to shoulder greater responsibilities within the organization. These opportunities are specifically designed to foster greater diversity (of age, culture, background, and gender) within the community and broader connections with other communities. It is the stated policy of the ACC to embrace diversity in its choice of chairs and of keynote speakers, and to address the historical gender imbalance in the community (and in Computer Science overall) through the careful selection of balanced panels and guest speakers. In addition, local chairs are reminded to introduce each new iteration of the conference with a statement of values to emphasize the ACC’s commitment to respect, tolerance, diversity and academic freedom (see below).
ICCC Declaration of values
The International Conference on Computational Creativity (ICCC) is an open, international, academic conference. Thus, the conference is open to all delegates regardless of any demographic, religious or sexual preference consideration and we welcome ICCC participants from all over the world. We strongly encourage scholarly discussions among the attendees. However, the conference will not accept any inappropriate behavior, like discrimination or harassment, in any form for any reason against anyone. If you see any cases of inappropriate behavior, please talk to chair of the Association for Computational Creativity, or the ICCC conference chairs, or any member of the ICCC steering committee.
