Guidelines for Global Collaboration
As a global organization based in Switzerland, the Global Power and Propulsion Society (GPPS) is committed to provide a platform for exchange of ideas independent of nationality, origin, or any other factor. However it is important to note that GPPS strictly adheres to Swiss law and to the law of host countries where events take place.
During our events, we ask participants to adhere to standard conference practices and refrain from disclosing sensitive or confidential data as any of the material shared will be considered public data. Just as a reminder, each participant is equally responsible to adhere to the regulations of their home country as well as their company/organization.
We believe in the importance of scientific exchange with a very broad group of global stake holders and strive to foster open communications while upholding highest standards for integrity, trust and compliance with applicable law.
