What are some of the most preferred Erasmus+ destinations for students? What are the transportation options used to complete these roundtrips, and what is the carbon footprint associated with each mode of transportation? These are the main questions that led the SET consortium to develop one of its first deliverables, briefly titled “Informational figures”.
Starting from 10 Erasmus+ cities (Budapest, Istanbul, Madrid, Paris, Porto, Prague, Rome, Vienna, Warsaw, Zurich), the factsheets feature the following data:
- Travel times for the five most popular student exchange routes;
- GHG emissions from different transportation modes (plane, train, bus, car) on those routes;
- Tips for sustainable travelling;
- Explanation of the methodology
In addition to this city-specific information, the deliverable includes a general “green tips” box and a textual template with introductions to each section, highlighting the need for more sustainable travel and general facts. They are available and adaptable to other destinations.
All of the above-mentioned materials are available in the Resources section of this website.
