Our Aim
The Global Mobilities Network brings together the worldwide community of mobilities researchers, activists and their partners in industry, policy and communities to develop the analytical and methodological purchase of the mobilities paradigm, and its impact for research co-creation.

The Global Mobilities Network brings these mobilities networks together to provide a platform for exchange and collaboration amongst this growing global mobilities community. Read More>>
