Mobile Tartu 2014 1-3 July 2014 in Tartu, Estonia |
The aim of the conference is to discuss theoretical, methodological and empirical aspects of research using mobile data –derived from mobile phone or crowd-sourced social media -- and explore practical applications of this data in geography and planning.
Mobile Tartu 2014 proposes special sessions on urban studies, social media, emergency management and LBS business models.
The conference is accompanied by an international PhD seminar “Mobile Methods in Mobility Studies” on 1-2 July which is co-organized by the Doctoral School in Economics and Innovation.
