@eaganj Fantastic initiative! Would love to see this implemented in every conference!
#flyLess #StayLonger

Just discovered this super cool initiative for the ETAPS ‘23 conference: extended stay scheme to encourage conference attendees to travel by train instead of plane. The idea is to combine attendance and lab research visits to better amortize the travel time to make train more air-competitive. This is great win-win thinking!

Can #chi2023 or #chi2025 do something like this?

Attending ETAPS 2023 in Paris, and flying from far, far away?

➡️ Apply to the Extended Stay Support Scheme: Get invited by one of the participating labs reachable by 🚄 (throughout 🇫🇷🇧🇪) before or after the main conference, so as to avoid flying to France for just a few days. #flyless #staylonger
