♻️ Tips for Greener Conference Travel:
🚆 Choose low-carbon transport (train, bus, bike)
🧬 Combine scientific meetings to reduce the carbon-footprint
👩🎓 Use stopovers to meet with peers or collaborators
👭 Coordinate with colleagues to travel together
📣 Share Your Journey! Inspire others by sharing your sustainable experiences. Use travel for science outreach and create awareness.
Our coordinator Ana Conesa along with LongTREC Doctoral Candidates Fabio Zanarello and Nadja Nolte are putting these ideas into practice as they travel to the LongTREC Summer School (Norwich,UK) and the #ISMBECCB2025 organized by the ISCB – International Society for Computational Biology (Liverpool,UK).
Are our colleagues aligning our actions with our values on sustainability? Let’s take a look:
✅ Ana Conesa is taking the 🚆 from Valencia to London
✅ Fabio Zanarello is taking the 🚆 from Barcelona to London
✅ Nadja Nolte is taking the 🚆 from Ljubljana to London
✅ All three will bike 🚲 from London to Norwich
✅ They will meet peers 👩🎓in London and Cambridge to discuss new collaboration
✅ They are combining two events in one trip: LongTREC Summer School in Norwich and the #ISMBECCB2025 in Liverpool
✅ They will take the 🚆 from Norwich to Liverpool
✅ And they’re doing it together — to support each other, raise awareness, and show that sustainable science is possible (and fun!)
✅ They will post in Social media about their trip and LongTREC research
Let’s rethink how we travel to conferences. 🌿
