12/02/2025 – Seminar: A global transnational mobility dataset (hybrid)

February 8, 2025 · by · in Announcements, Seminar

Did you know that international migration accounts for less than 1% of total transnational travel worldwide?

The next MPC seminar will feature a presentation of a groundbreaking dataset that enables the analysis of the volume, directions, and shifts in transnational travel over nearly three decades (from 1995 to 2022).

Some insights:

  • Researchers estimate that total transnational mobility surged from 4.87 billion trips in 1995 to 9.64 billion in 2019.
  • International migration constitutes just 0.15% of all transnational travel in Europe.
  • Most border crossings are intra-regional, particularly in Europe.

Register for the seminar to learn more about this dataset, which will serve as a valuable resource for studying global phenomena in fields such as migration, tourism studies, sustainability, epidemiology, international economics, and international relations.
