The following policy has been created with regards to the use of networking sites at the Society's joint conferences.
The Joint Society's Twitter and blogging policy
The Societies encourage the discussion of its conferences via Twitter, Facebook and similar social networks. In order to promote discussion and the exchange of information, delegates who wish to tweet are asked to use the joint meeting hashtag:
#jointstress
Speakers will be made aware of this policy, and have the right to ask delegates not to disseminate their research via the Internet. If a Speaker makes this request, delegates are asked not to discuss the relevant work in this way. Delegates are respectfully asked to refrain from communicating using mobile devices whilst lectures are in progress.
