Sustainability
We have secured sponsorship from the University of Bern to support compensations through CO2 offset projects. Participants are encouraged to mitigate their flights' carbon footprint by opting for the extra charge most airlines offer for CO2 offsetting. The selected venue is Green Key certified, recognizing its commitment to environmental sustainability. Located less than an hour's drive from Athens airport, the venue is accessible by public transport. Additionally, we have arranged bus transportation from the airport to the venue to reduce the need for individual taxi services.
We strongly encourage local participants from Greece to use public transport to attend the meeting. A discount on registration fees will be provided to attendees from outside Greece who travel by train. In our commitment to sustainability, single-use items will be avoided, and we will offer a diverse selection of delicious vegetarian meals for all attendees.
