För att minimera påverkan på klimat och miljö ska resor så långt som möjligt ersättas med digitala mötesformer, skriver universitetet i sin policy för möten och resor. Foto: Michael Erhardsson © Mostphotos

In general we recommend, when possible, our employees to travel by train rather than by plane.

In Sweden we choose to travel by train. We also choose train, when possible, for travel in Scandinavia. You may of course choose first class, especially if it is a long journey. If travel time is significantly prolonged or complicated due to the choice of train, the employee can apply for financial support from the Department.

Public transport is the first choice for any connecting trip from your destination of arrival or return.

We recommend our employees to try to limit their participation in conferences that implies long flights, especially intercontinental ones, to one per year.
