My Climate: CO2 incentive tax
The incentive tax on air travel will be introduced at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences on 1 October 2022. This means that, as a member of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, you are obliged to record all flights that you take from this date onwards and that are paid for by cost centres or projects of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences using the newly introduced ClimateSmart.Travel tool. This tool generates a monthly report for the settlement of the CO2 carbon tax to the relevant cost centres.
Members of the faculty can record their air travel themselves before or after travelling or booking a flight. For guests / external persons, this is done automatically by the IPZ secretariat after the reimbursement has been entered.
Assumption of expenses for train, bus and ship journeys
From 1 January 2025, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences will cover the expenses for business trips to conferences by train, bus or boat up to a maximum of CHF 1,500 per year and person for members of the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences who are employed at UZH.

CHUBB travel insurance
Travel insurance for UZH members
As part of our work at the Department of Political Science, national and international exchange - for example through congresses, conferences or research visits - plays a central role. It is important to us that you can move around as safely and freely as possible both at home and abroad. To ensure this, there are a few important points to bear in mind.
This information sheet will help you to be well prepared and safe when travelling. It provides information on how you are insured through UZH, what services the insurance covers and who you can contact in an emergency.
