The routes Paris-Berlin and Paris-Vienna are among the most popular for Erasmus+ higher education students who are travelling green, i.e., by train, bus, bike, or carpooling, or a combination of these means (EUF). Despite the considerable distance between these cities, this behaviour can be explained in part by the connectivity options that are not at risk.

Survey for students on green mobility and travel

Survey for students on green mobility and travel

An essential element of the SET project is the student survey. It will help us to better understand the experiences and expectations of former and future Erasmus students. The patterns that emerge from the responses will enable us to make more sustainable travel options available to students on mobility.
