Exploring the Problem Space of CO<sub>2</sub> Emission Reductions from Academic Flying

CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from aviation have been predicted to increase over the coming decades. Within the academic world, flying is often perceived to be a necessary prerequisite to being a successful researcher. Many Swedish universities have ambitious climate goals, but are simultaneo...
