Swiss Education Briefing – Greener Mobility & Exchange

Webinar on ‘Making Higher Education Institutions’ exchange and mobility greener’

Student, lecturer and staff mobility is increasing. Researchers travel around the world to participate in conferences. Digital solutions for exchange require up-to date technical equipment and energy. At the same time, higher education institutions as well as other agencies and foundations fostering mobility and exchange at global, European and national levels, are taking action to make mobility and exchange as green as possible.

Against this backdrop, SwissCore, the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) and Movetia organised this webinar to get you inspired by ongoing initiatives as well as to reflect what national and European organisations and networks could do to better reconcile international exchange and climate action.
