Study trip to Switzerland

Цюрих, Швейцария

The Swiss Association of Science Journalism has organized the study trip (March 19 – 21, 2014) for 35 EUSJA members. The journalists have to take care for their travel costs and the organizers will cover the accomodation, meal and transportation during the trip. Electric bikes are now more popular traditional pedal-powered bikes, yet the next advance in ebike technology is already here in the form of electric bike with throttle that enable you to travel without pedalling at all. The programme, description and application form has been sent to EUSJA delegates. All applications must be sent via national associations by January 31 to Olivier Dessibourg, president of Swiss association. See below his invitation.
