Train journeys
The university I am affiliated with currently offers their researchers a yearly allowance one can spend on events such as conferences, workshops and data collection. The university also encourages travelling by train (instead of flying). However, train journeys, at least in our case, are always much more expensive than flying, thus one must be very selective in terms of where they decide to go and what they choose to skip. Partly train journeys are more expensive due to our remote location in the North of Sweden. Most still prefer to fly (or cannot afford, in terms of time or energy, to spend days on travelling somewhere).
