We wrote a small piece on our open #Erasmus #StudentMobility data for a Finnish GIS professional magazine, Positio, with @miladmzdh, Oula Inkeröinen and Olle Järv. It is in #Finnish though.

Great! My abstract got accepted into #LBS2025 conference!
I will be presenting my work on #StudentMobility and an #EdgeBundling tool.
This year Location-based Services is in Espoo, so I can just ride the metro there. Travel budget will be around €15. Good times.
Anybody else going to #LBS?
Submitting abstracts left and right this week, both related to #StudentMobility across #Europe and partly to #visualization. Soon there will be a publication related to this and it would be a proper cherry on top to be able to present the work and how it continues to others 😎
[](https://www.melusinapress.lu/page/current-trends-in-luxembourg-studies) <br/><br/> Luxembourg has an almost 100% student mobility rate, much higher compared to other EU countries. While there is a long-standing tradition of studying abroad for a degree, and short-term credit mobility is an obligation at the University of Luxembourg, there are few academic studies dedicated to student mobility from Luxembourg. This study will partly close the gap. Based on narrative interviews and an online survey this study fills the gap as it examines the shaping and significance of stays abroad by and for young people from Luxembourg. It explores not only what motivates students to study abroad, but also how and why they do so. The findings reveal that the norm of study-related mobility in Luxembourg is being questioned by young people, as evidenced by the different orientations of degree and credit students. Furthermore, this study illustrates the different roles of parents and peers in the process of student mobility. It highlights that time abroad cannot be considered a context-free part of young people's lives. Instead, study-related mobility is discussed as a special and multidimensional biographical moment on the threshold of adulthood. Additionally, the study systematically compares the two forms of study-related mobility (degree and credit), which has been neglected in previous debates.

Marina Adomeit: "Even after all this time, we are on the cusp of a pivotal moment in our work on trust & identity.
The evolution that started as federated #eduroam access moved into creating the global #eduGAIN trust fabric, enabling federated access to R&E and eventually #InAcademia and the #coreAAI platform to support the GÉANT community, e-science, #StudentMobility.
We have changed how #research & #education are conducted today.
I am proud to be part of this and I believe we all should be"
