Sustainable conferences Leonard Burtscher, together with international astronomers, has calculated that the face-to-face astronomy conference EAS2019 contributed 3,000 times more carbon dioxide than the online conference EAS2020. The 2020 event was due to be held in Leiden, but was moved online due to corona. The researchers suggest that a combination of online lectures with regional offline meetings could be a sustainable alternative for future conferences.
