Measures

  1. Various incentives and measures are examined and implemented to ensure that employees' and students' travel and meeting patterns lead to a reduced climate impact.
  2. Identify and propose measures to ensure infrastructure and awareness actions that lead to a reduced climate impact. These measures can be both knowledge of the use of technology and digital meeting forms, digital instruction, or examination formats. Support the development of new forms of conferences and other meetings held entirely or partially in digital form
  3. In cooperation with property owners, measures are taken, including the use of bicycles and electric cars, to promote climate-neutral transport to and from and between campus areas.
  4. Within the procurement regulatory framework, measures are taken to set requirements for current and future travel agencies regarding measures resulting in a reduced climate impact.
