This sub-category is for discussions on academic and professional travel, especially flights, and how to reduce their carbon impact while maintaining collaboration. Topics may include:

- Institutional policies and restrictions on flights

- Funder expectations for low-carbon travel

- Alternatives to flights: rail, hybrid and virtual collaboration

- Tools for tracking and reporting business travel emissions

- Case studies of successful reduction programmes

This complements _Events & Conferences_ (focusing on meetings) and _Student Travel_ (focusing on mobility). Here the emphasis is on **staff and researcher travel for work and collaboration**.
