Infotechnological Mobility Observatory

The research was conducted using the research infrastructure “Infotechnological Mobility Observatory” funded by the Estonian Research Council (TARISTU24-TK18)

Beneficiary: University of Tartu

Partners: Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn University, Statistics Estonia

Period: 2014 - 2029

Brief description: Growing spatial mobility is one of the important changes in modern society, which is related to the topics of external and internal migration, urbanization, entrepreneurship, inequality and regional development. Up-to-date and high-quality data are needed to study spatial mobility. The goal of IMO is to develop an innovative data infrastructure supporting mobility research, integrating geographically and longitudinally diverse national statistics and innovative IT data sources.
