collaboration values

As a collaboration, we have defined and prioritized our values through workshops at multiple collaboration meetings and joint meetings of the collaboration leadership. Our values include both how we create a positive work environment (social values) and how we perform our research with the highest standards of scientific integrity and professionalism (scientific values). In June 2023, the collaboration governing board approved the statement of social values. The statement of our scientific values is drafted and awaiting governing board approval.Our values reflect the core principles and ethics of our collaboration. CMB-S4 commits to ensuring that our community upholds the values in this statement through (1) critically assessing our policies and structures and (2) providing individual members with resources to support their personal responsibility to uphold our values.
