The EAIE Conference and Exhibition in Rotterdam will bring together the international education community from all over the world, providing valuable networking, learning, and partnership opportunities. The EAIE is committed to reducing the environmental impact of such a large event by partnering with Go2RAIL and CANIE. As thousands of professionals will travel to Rotterdam this September, we encourage those who can to travel by train – a social, low-carbon and comfortable way to start your #EAIE2023 experience.
Sustainable internationalisation is a top priority in our sector, and the change starts with you. Join the travel green movement and set an example for the rest of our community.
Start your #EAIE2023 experience on your train journey to Rotterdam with fellow participants. Make connections ahead of the conference, share stories, and spend a few hours in good company!
Schedule your meetings, read the Conference Conversation Starter, and plan your sessions while enjoying the landscape and scenic views.
Select your city and day of the departure to start your Go2RAIL experience to #EAIE2023.
Check your inbox. A Telegram group of fellow travellers departing from the same city and day as you is waiting for you. Introduce yourself and align on which seats to book!
Once you know which train your fellow travellers are taking, book your ticket accordingly.
Meet with your fellow train travellers at your chosen departure city and begin making the memorable journey to #EAIE2023.

No. Neither party will see another's phone number (unless this is permitted by your privacy settings). This is similar to the case when you message a person who you've met in a Telegram group. More info on www.telegram.org/faq.
We use the Telegram app because your data will be more protected and your phone number will not be shared publicly with others in the group. Once Go2RAIL sorts you into your travel group, it is up to you and your travel buddies, how you want to continue communicating.
You can download Telegram (www.telegram.org) free of charge in your Android or Apple app store on your mobile phone or as a desktop version for Mac and PC.

Go2RAIL, as a non-profit organization, aims at fighting climate change by promoting high-speed trains as a fun, shared, and affordable travel mode choice amongst international students. Coherently with our aim of making train tickets more affordable, we reinvest the yearly generated profit in our business to do so.
