The aim of the recommendations is to define the financial and organisational framework for the preparation and implementation of GMDS scientific events (annual meetings, workshops, etc.) and to provide guidance and assistance to the organisers.

Code of conduct of the GMDS - Procedure for the conduct of GMDS events

Time and time again, the GMDS and its subdivisions are confronted with the question of how to deal with industry sponsoring. On the one hand, sponsorships are greatly appreciated and without them many events would not be feasible; on the other hand, any appearance of influencing decisions - directly or indirectly - must be avoided. The GMDS Executive Committee has therefore decided to compile these binding recommendations for all GMDS events and to make them publicly known on the internet.
