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-e
dge 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. PARTNER INSTITUTIONS
