Green Event Tirol 2022

Sustainability

Great news, the General Conference 2022 has been officially certified as a 'Green Event Tirol' by the Klimabündnis (Climate Alliance) Tirol. It will also be the first explicitly eco-friendly ECPR conference.

How we're making it happen

Together with our local organising team at the University of Innsbruck, we are prioritising eco-friendly initiatives to make the conference sustainable.

Please support these efforts by considering your environmental footprint at the conference.  

Reducing waste

We are committed to reducing all waste, particularly plastic.

For instance, at evening events hosted by our local organisers, we'll serve beer and wine in returnable cups. 

Using these cups, you'll support ISSBA – a local non-profit organisation helping people get back into the workplace. We'll also use disposable tablecloths only where it's unavoidable.

How you can help

Keep €2 handy for your returnable cup deposit.

Recycle your lanyard – we'll set up a few drop-off points at the conference venue.

Travelling responsibly

Innsbruck is easily reached by train – the most sustainable means of travel. Added bonus? Virtually everything in the city is within walking distance!

How you can help

Consider travelling to Innsbruck by train.

Get on a bike! Cycling is one of the best ways to explore Innsbruck. Rental bikes are available from several rental stations throughout the city.

Thinking local

We'll serve only locally sourced vegetarian and vegan food at all conference receptions. Wine, beer and other drinks are sourced from regional producers and (mostly) organic.

How you can help

If you can, please support local producers and businesses during your stay.

Saving energy and water

We aim at reducing energy and keep water consumption to a minimum.

How you can help

Carry a reusable water bottle – you'll receive one on registration. 

Find water stations across campus for refills on the go.

Going paperless

We no longer print event guides. The conference programme, and your personalised itinerary, are fully accessible on PC and mobile devices via our dedicated event platform.

How you can help

Please avoid printing conference materials – our event platform is designed to offer everything you need for smooth participation, whether you are attending online or face to face.

Respecting diversity

The ECPR community is diverse, and we aim to make our conference as accessible and inclusive as possible. All conference buildings have step-free access and an all-gender toilet.
