We've started very preliminary discussions with a few people about European mirrors for #SMBE2024 and #SMBE2025, to limit plane travel ✈️ to Puerto Vallarta 🇲🇽 or Beijing 🇨🇳. If you're interested, please follow the hashtag #SMBE2024. #SMBE2023 #SMBE23 #NoFlyAcademics

My turn to enter the #noflying for #noflyacademics!
Let me use this opportunity to share some nice pictures 😀

Here is a random landscape from my first train through southern France.

University of Lausanne #UNIL has a strong new policy concerning travel:
- preference to videoconference.
- no flight possible if in Europe & train <10h.
- for long train rides, 1st class refunded to all and extra hotel night can be refunded.
- if >10h train, authorisation is still needed to fly, if approved direct flights are priority.
