The COV11 Congress aims to minimize the environmental impact of the event and contribute towards a safe and healthy environment. Implements numerous measures, from the planning of the event to execution and from the moment you start looking into your travel arrangements until you are back from the conference. This congress aspires to bring about sustainable solutions, to act as an inspiration and to raise the level of both learning and awareness, that the positive impacts will outweigh the negative:
- We select local suppliers to avoid long distance transport of goods and people
- We avoid printing and aim for an almost paperless office
- We offer contactless check-in for delegates and congress visitors
- We select seasonal and regional food for the catering and order carefully to avoid food waste
 Travel
– Use public transport instead of a taxi when navigating through Heraklion
– When using a taxi, you might think of sharing it with one of your fellow delegates
Hotel
– Only use the air conditioning if it is necessary
– Turn off the lights and TV when leaving the room
– Select the type and amount of food during meals sensibly to avoid food waste
During the Congress
– Bring your own folding travel cup for coffee/tea to prevent takeaway cups
– Bring your own bottle of water and refill it
– Only pick up printed marketing and information material that you are really interested in and that you will use |
