On the 1^st October 2022, the Faculty Assembly has decided to introduce an Incentive Flight Tax. This tax is applied to all booked flights at the University of Zurich. Its aim is to reduce the amount of used flights during the year and to promote travelling by train. Therefore, you are obliged to record the flights you book with the ClimateSmart Travel tool (online from 4 October 2022). Please, read the instructions carefully and speak to your group leader before booking a flight.
