Revision as of 10:12, 27 March 2020
Air travel to conferences is an important source of emissions by academics. In order to reduce these emissions, a number of conference organizers have adopted various strategies.
Decentralized conferences
Conference with several virtually connected regional hubs, rather than a single location.
- Double conference "Higher algebra and mathematical physics" (HAMP 2018), with two locations in Bonn and Waterloo.
- ICMPC15-ESCOM10, a 2018 conference on music psychology, with four locations in Graz, La Plata, Sydney and Montreal.
- Ecology & Religion in Nineteenth-Century Studies Conference, a 2019 conference at 5 digitally connected sites in the USA and in the UK. The conference website points to a number of assessments of its approach to flightless conferencing, including this blog post.[1]
Partly virtual conferences
- The 2019 meeting of the European Biological Rhythms Society (EBRS), to which four fifth of the attendees connected via virtual hubs, and where psychologists studied the effectiveness of networking.[2]
- The 2020 meeting of Interdisciplinary Nineteenth-Century Studies, whose virtual part was increased due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3]
Virtual conferences
- The world in 2050: creating/imagining just climate futures, a 2016 virtual conference which came with a white paper on its organization.[4]
- A 2017 virtual conference on agile practices in government used not only Zoom videoconferencing, but also Slack and Twitter.[5]
- Couchcon, a 2018 marketing conference organized by Wistia.[6]
- Where next for global taxing rights?, a 2019 conference.[7]
- Photonics Online Meetup 2020, an all-online one-day conference, including a virtual poster session on Twitter.
- ICLR2020, the Eighth International Conference on Learning Representations, shifted to a virtual format due to the coronavirus pandemic.
