🚨🌍 NEW ARTICLE 🌍🚨 We geocoded the #mobility of over 2 million #Erasmus students across #Europe from 2014 to 2022 with @miladmzdh.bsky.social, Oula Inkeröinen & @ollejarv.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1038/s415... @mobi-twin-project.bsky.social @digigeolab.bsky.social @springernature.com #GIScience

What a great paper! Please check out our new paper in Nature on student mobility.

Next up is @miladmzdh.bsky.social from @digigeolab.bsky.social presenting the #MobiTwin project and how regional #mobility studies have to move beyond migration when studying regional attractiveness, and also consider #CrossBorder #commuting, #StudentMobility, #Multilocality and #DigitalNomadism.

Are you looking for some regional #mobility data from Europe on #NUTS2 level? The #MobiTwin project has published the description of the project data, and is looking for interested collaborators to study #RegionalEconomics #Migration #Commuting and #CrossBorder mobility. 🌐: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

My #map for Day 2 of #30DayMapChallenge. The map shows the value of aggregation and edge-bundling for complex mobility data such as regional student #mobility across Europe. This work comes from the #MobiTwin project I am a part of. The data and methods will be published openly in the near future 😎
