Thoughts on traveling by train to 2 international conferences a bit far:
Lausanne - Glasgow for #EED2026, 13h of train to, a bit more with a night train fro.
Lausanne - Copenhagen for #SMBE2026, 22h each way including a night train.

1st, it's totally possible to travel by train further than you would first think. 2nd, night trains rule. Treat yourself to a comfortable option, it's probably cheaper than a hotel night + a train ticket. 3rd, more academics should consider the possibility. The most common reaction I get is surprise, from people who did not even consider the possibility. Inside Europe there are often more train options than you might think.
