Air travel - "less for more"

Air travel is responsible for about 30% of the University of Basel’s total greenhouse gas emissions and is therefore a significant target area for the reduction of CO2 emissions.

The “less for more” project adopted by the President’s Board and Senate aims to reduce the University of Basel’s emissions due to air travel without adversely affecting excellence in research and teaching, while focusing on the development of decentralized reduction measures.
