The recent availability of massive amounts of digital data have profoundly revolutionized
research on migration and mobility, enabling scientists to quantitatively study individual
and collective mobility patterns at different granularities as generated by human
activities in their daily life. Harnessing such digital data offers many new opportunities
to study migration and mobility and fill in the gaps left by traditional data. At the same
time, such innovative data sources also come with several limitations, biases, and
challenges, which have led to diverging research methodologies and frameworks, requiring
even greater effort in their operationalization and communication to stakeholders and
policy makers.
The aim of this satellite session is to bring together researchers from different fields
and practitioners from around the world to facilitate a conversation on the use of
innovative digital data sources, new methodologies, empirical findings, and critical
challenges of studying migration and mobility in the digital era.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
1. New data sources for mobility and migration research, challenges and opportunities
2. Internal and international migration, short- and long-term mobility
3. Modeling and predicting human mobility patterns
4. Machine learning and AI methods for studying mobility
5. Longitudinal analyses and empirical studies of mobility and migration
6. Socio-economic and environmental drivers of migration
7. Integration and segregation of migrant populations
8. Measuring the impact of natural disasters, conflicts, climate change, and the
COVID-19 pandemic on migration
9. Access to mobility data, open science, and privacy concerns
10. Evaluation and development of migration policy
Call for Abstracts
We welcome submissions of abstracts on ongoing or published work that fit the topics of
the event. The submissions must be a single PDF-file of maximum 2 pages in English
including the title, list of authors and affiliations, abstract text, descriptive figure
or table, and references (optional). The abstracts can be in any format or style as long
as they do not exceed the page and word limits. Alternatively, authors can use an abstract
template (click
here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1odthFs5v8a4-PIveHQE_L_5ImBFuHiv…
to view our optional formatting template).
Abstracts must be submitted electronically by June 19, 2022, through the Easychair
platform at the following link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mimode2022
All submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee on the basis of quality and fit
to the satellite theme.
Oral presentations will be allocated about 12 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of Q&A.
Please note that the presenting author must register to the main conference as announced
on
CCS2022<https://www.ccs2022.org/index.php> website.
Important Dates
June 19, 2022 - Deadline for abstract submissions (midnight CEST)
July 11, 2022 - Notification of abstract acceptance for oral presentation
July 25, 2022 - Deadline for early bird registration
October 19-20, 2022 - MIMODE 2022 satellite (half-day session)
Registration & Venue
MIMODE 2022 is a satellite of the Conference on Complex Systems
CCS2022<https://www.ccs2022.org/index.php>hp>, and will take place in Palma de
Mallorca, Spain (and online) on October 19-20, 2022.
Satellite participants (with or without abstract submission) will have to register
following the procedure described in the CCS2022 conference website:
https://www.ccs2022.org/index.php/registration/registration-fees
Presenting authors can indicate their availability to travel to Spain in October 2022 in
the submission platform. We will consider researchers' needs and organize our
satellite event accordingly as we approach the date of the event. More details will follow
soon.
The conference venue will be the Auditorium of Palma de Mallorca Convention Center located
in: Paseo Marítimo 18, 07014, Palma de Mallorca, Illes Balears (Spain).

Organizers
Jisu Kim, Research Scientist, Laboratory of Digital and Computational Demography, MPIDR.
Jisu holds a PhD in Data Science from Scuola Normale Superiore in Italy. She has worked on
exploring and establishing novel methods to improve relevant statistics of international
migration using social media data. Her research focuses on the intersection of migration
sciences, economics of migration, complex social networks, statistical models and
data-driven algorithms.
Daniela Perrotta, Research Scientist, Laboratory of Digital and Computational Demography,
MPIDR.
Daniela Perrotta completed her PhD in Complex Systems for Life Sciences at the University
of Turin with a fellowship at the Laboratory of Digital and Computational Epidemiology at
the ISI Foundation in Italy. Her research focuses on harnessing innovative data-collection
schemes and computational methods for modeling human mobility and disease spread.
