The CODART congresses are international gatherings at which knowledge and expertise are exchanged at various levels, both formally and informally. CODART’s strength resides in the spontaneity of this interaction. Our members give generously of their expertise because they know that the information they share will be treated confidentially. We therefore rely on our Patrons’ discretion and ask them to agree with the terms set out in our Code of Conduct before registration. Download the Code of Conduct (PDF file).
