Cosmobilities Network

Info

The Cosmobilities Network is a global network for social science based mobilities research.

Geschichte

The Cosmobilities Network is a global network for social science based mobilities research. It connects scientists working on social, physical, geographical, virtual, and cultural aspects of mobility and movement, involving people, goods and ideas.

Cosmobilities addresses mobility research as a key discipline for the modernization of societies. It provides a lively framework for young researchers and leading experts alike, organizing the ongoing exchange of ideas and generating cutting-edge research.

The cosmobilities network was established in 2004 and until 2010 was funded by the German Research Association (DFG). Its work today attracts the involvement of a large number of experts and a wide range of excellent research institutions worldwide. Sources of inspiration include the new mobilities
paradigm (Hannam, Sheller, Urry 2006), drawing upon its focus on globalization and
a cosmopolitan perspective within the social sciences.
