The Roundtable of Sustainable Academic Travel is an inclusive network for sharing knowledge, discussing ideas, and distributing data to address business travel emissions in the higher education sector. It aims to establish the scale of emissions attributed to business travel in the higher education sector, support changes to travel behaviour at an individual, institutional, and sector wide level and generally reduce carbon emissions related to business travel in the higher education sector.

The Roundtable network is led by the University of Edinburgh, with support from ETH Zurich, The University of Zurich, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, and the Paul Scherrer Institute.
