One way is to choose the train when travelling within Europe. The University’s travel agent is constantly working to create better conditions for us to travel by train in Europe, and can book trips in some 30 countries.

As there is no framework agreement in place for train travel outside Sweden, international train tickets may be purchased by passengers themselves, either through their chosen agent (with online booking) or through Egencia’s personal service (by telephone). Bookings through your chosen agent are processed as expenses.
