At the L4DC conference, we aim to create a safe, welcoming, and positive environment that facilitates exchanging ideas and forming professional connections. We expect all participants to be respectful towards each other. The conference will not tolerate harassment, discrimination, or personal attacks. Participants must stop any problematic behavior immediately.
It is important to note that problematic communication can occur even without an explicit intent to offend or harass. Hence, we ask that all participants be mindful of how their comments can be interpreted, and err on the side of caution during formal and informal interactions.

Building the L4DC Community:
L4DC is interdisciplinary, bringing together researchers from control, robotics, machine learning, and optimization. One of the goals of L4DC is to build strong ties between these disciplines and enable active collaboration. Please consider taking on the constructive role of contributing to the community, instead of taking on a critical role to pinpoint flaws and weaknesses in the works of others during the conference. Focusing on weak points could cause others to retreat back to places where they feel comfortable, and instead of interdisciplinary interaction, we could end up with separate sub-clusters of people only interacting within their own fields. So please help us create a positive tone so that it is easy for the participants to leave their comfort zones, gain new perspectives, and form new collaborations.
