Our request to you… 

  • If possible, opt for an environmentally friendly way of travelling to Vienna by public transport or carpool.
  • If you are unable or do not want to travel without a car, or if you have to travel by air, make up for the CO2 emissions by paying a compensation.(e.g. www.atmosfair.dewww.myclimate.orgwww.climateaustria.at)
  • Make use of your hotel's environmental programme (e.g. by not requiring towels and sheets to be exchanged every day).
  • Turn off all the lights and electric appliances (TV set, air conditioning, heating, computer etc.) when you leave your hotel room temporarily.
  • No single portion packages = more environmental protection: Go for beverages in jugs or big bottles, meals on reusable dishes, milk and sugar that are not packaged in single portions etc.
  • Use the waste separation system at the hotel and conference venue to dispose of your waste (PET bottles, glass, paper, metal, batteries etc.).
  • Within the city, use public transport, walk or use the bike. At the conference venue, a sufficient number of bicycle stands is available. (Bikes can be rent here)

Let's consider the future and act with sustainability in mind…
