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.
The SET project consortium is proud to walk the talk when it comes to green mobility. Two partners embarked on a ground journey from Prague and Zurich to attend the EAIE Conference in Gothenburg, Sweden, where they took part in a session on how to step up institutional support for student green mobility.
In August 2025, two major reports were released, directly linked to the objectives of the SET project. Both explore the intersection of sustainable travel, student mobility, and future employability. The first report, Environmental sustainability in Erasmus+ student...
The 35th Annual EAIE Conference and Exhibition is taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden in September 2025. The SET consortium is thrilled to be preparing two insightful and interactive sessions to present at the conference.
The 53rd edition of the NORDTEK conference was successfully held in Vilnius, the European Green Capital for 2025 where the SET project hosted a session titled ‘The Green Mobility Revolution’.
The SET project consortium has officially launched the Sustainable Erasmus+ Journey Contest! The contest wants to encourage students to choose environmentally friendly travel as part of their Erasmus+ mobility, whether for studies or traineeships.
On April 3-6, the 4th edition of the Erasmus Generation Meeting was held where the SET project was successfully represented.
The SET consortium is pleased to announce the official launch of the Sustainable Erasmus Journey platform, hosted at the Erasmus Generation Portal by ESN. It aims to provide mobile students with useful material and resources to organise their green journey, and, as such, it will serve as an information point to plan sustainable journeys over the years ahead.
Join EUF and ESN for the IRO Webinar on 24 March 2025, from 14:30-15:30 CET, to explore a new platform promoting sustainable travel for Erasmus+ students, Connectivity Reports mapping green travel opportunities, and guides on sustainable living at universities.
Hosted at the University of Barcelona and supported by ACA, ESU, ESN and EURASHE, the Student Mobility Summit successfully concluded its second edition, “More mobility, less carbon footprint”.
What is the connectivity potential linking Zurich, Prague and Porto to their top 5 destinations for student mobility?
What are some of the most preferred Erasmus+ destinations for students? How do they get there and what is the carbon footprint associated with these travel choices?
On December 12th, the SET project was featured in the CANIE Europe monthly meeting, a grassroots initiative bringing together international education practitioners focused on education and environmental sustainability.
We are pleased to announce that the results of the SET project will be disseminated at the Student Mobility Summit “More Mobility, Less Carbon Footprint” in early 2025. Here’s your chance to get involved!
The BRIGHTS final conference, “Bringing Higher Education towards Sustainability: Green Skills Development and Recognition,” was held in Brussels on October 11, 2024, bringing together representatives from youth and education organisations to highlight the pivotal role that green skills play in promoting sustainability in higher education institutions.
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.
Our poster “Elevating students’ green skills through sustainable travel”, presented in September at the EAIE 2024 conference in Toulouse, was awarded the best in its session by the participants.
This digital “board game” highlights the potential for students to acquire and enhance transversal skills and green attitudes by choosing to travel sustainably to their mobility destination. Follow the path from preparation to graduation to uncover all competencies and their link to green travel!
Between 2021-2023, the 20 most popular flows that were realised with a green transportation mode, i.e. not by plane, represented 3.418 student mobilities. Exploring travel habits and analysing data will bring us closer to making mobility sustainable through greener travel modes.
Traveling is part of the journey and the entire Erasmus mobility experience. What skills can students gain by sustainable travel? As part of the Sustainable Erasmus+ Travel (SET) project, we are working on identifying and showcasing green soft competences.
The poster presenting the Sustainable Erasmus+ Travel project, which was showcased in the poster gallery at the seventh edition of the EUF Open Space event, was therefore received with great interest.
