THE COSMOBILITIES NETWORK
NETWORK MISSION WEBSITE AND MAILING LIST The Cosmobilities Network is a global network for www.cosmobilities.net is the No 1 interdisciplinary social science based mobilities research. It connects platform for social science based mobility research scholars working on social, physical, geographical, worldwide. About 100,000 users per year access virtual, and cultural mobilities and research on the website. It offers up-to-date news about the mobility, migration, movement and transport. This ‘mobilities world’, gives access to key experts in the includes approaches from many different disciplines field and keeps the community alive and together. and involves the science of people, things, signs, The Cosmobilities mailing list (mailinglist@ communication and ideas. Cosmobilities addresses mobility research as a cosmobilities.net) is open for researchers and key discipline for the modernization of societies. It practitioners interested in interdisciplinary mobilities provides a lively framework and space for younger research. It connects more than 1.500 experts in researchers and leading experts alike. For more than the field and works as a fast and direct information a decade Cosmobilities has organized the exchange tool for news and activities within the network.

Centre for Mobilities Research (cemore) Lancaster University (UK) HISTORY AND INSPIRATIONS The Cosmobilities Network was founded in Germany Centre for Mobility and Urban Studies (C-MUS) in 2004. Until 2010 the German Research Association Aalborg University (DK) (DFG) funded the network. Today, its work attracts a large number of experts and a wide range of excellent Laboratoire de Sociologie Urbaine (LASUR) research institutions worldwide. Important sources of Ecole Polytechnique Federale Lausanne (CH) inspiration for the Cosmobilities Network are the ‘new mobilities paradigm’ (Hannam, Sheller, Urry 2006) mCenter, Drexel University, and the theory of the mobile risk society (Beck 1992; Philadelphia (USA) Canzler, Kaufmann, Kesselring 2008).

Networked Urban Mobilities and Mobile Art Exhibition - How new technologies change cities, cultures and economies -
W hen in 2004 some twenty people came together in Munich for a workshop on ‘Mobility and the Cosmopolitan Perspective’ none of them had ever considered this the birth of a lasting research network. Nevertheless, the running gag during those days has turned into a network – from cosmopolitan mobilities to COSMOBILITIES! We can’t recall anymore who it was but somebody said: ‘This name calls for a network!’. And today, a decade later, we do not overstate by saying that the Cosmobilities Network plays a substantial role within the mobilities turn in social science. And also beyond academia, in politics, civil society and industry mobilities research is not anymore an unknown, strange plural word but rather a label for innovative thinking and socially committed science on the future of mobile lives and societies on the move.
More and more Cosmobilities has become a space, a place for encounters, an address (www.cosmobilities.net) and a synonym for cutting-edge research and innovative theories and methodologies. A huge number of individual scholars and research institutions worldwide have been working together for this success. They have generated a new interdisciplinary literature and new thinking on the social transformations of the modern mobile world and its risks and opportunities. The ‘new mobilities paradigm’ has influenced the work and thinking of academic scholars as well as practitioners in science, public authorities, industry and civil society.
We are happy to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cosmobilities Network with a conference on Networked Urban Mobilities. It shows the power and the potentials of the social scientific approaches in one of the most exiting research fields of today. It gives space for debate on the urging contemporary question: How do new technologies change cities, cultures and economies? Complex settings of social, technological, geographical, cultural, and digital networks are constituting and shaping people’s mobilities. New forms of social and cultural life are emerging with strong impacts on the ecological and cultural conditions of modern lives. We are facing future mobilities in a resource-constrained world. An approach is required which bridges research disciplines and analyses societal consequences of path dependencies, funding decisions and technology policies.
Continuing the good Cosmobilities tradition of a dynamic and controversial but constructive debate culture we are trying out new formats for sharing knowledge and ideas. We have developed the new format of 7/7 sessions putting roundtable discussions and creative communication in the centre. Additionally, and to celebrate the interdisciplinarity of mobilities research, we have invited artists working with mobilities to conduct a mobile art exhibition during the conference. This gives way to exploring the themes of mobilities, cities, cultures, economies and ecologies, and reflecting on the on-going discussions during the conference.
We want to thank Aalborg University, Roskilde University, the Mobile Lives Forum, Obel Foundation, the Springer publishing house and namely Dorothee Koch and Erika Vogt for their generous support and work for this conference, the members of the Scientific Committee, the amazing Organising Team, and numerous volunteers, who all have been contributing to making this conference a reality.
And last but not least, we are grateful to the participants and contributors of this and all former conferences, who have been part of making Cosmobilities conferences a special place to meet and discuss. We want to thank all of you for supporting the Cosmobilities Network and joining its 10th ‘birthday party’. We hope you will enjoy it and return home not only inspired but also with more energy to continue your work.
Our best wishes on behalf of the Cosmobilities Network,
Malene Freudendal-Pedersen Sven Kesselring

WELCOME NOTE FROM JOHN URRY
D ear Cosmobilities Network, I am delighted to celebrate the 10th anniversary of this amazing network here in Copenhagen. Throughout the last decade COSMOBILITIES has provided a really brilliant space that has nurtured the emerging mobilities paradigm. As a horizontal network of many senior and junior colleagues you have done a great job in bringing together scholars from many different fields and theoretical approaches as well research traditions. You have been bridging the gap between academia and practitioners, too. And hopefully COSMOBILITIES will long continue .
I am looking forward to an exciting ‘birthday’ conference and all the things to come in the future and for the further development of mobilities research.

WELCOME NOTE FROM ULRICH BECK
D ear Cosmobilities Network, It is a pleasure for me to see how this research network has been growing over the last ten years. I can still remember the first days of COSMOBILITIES and the workshop on Mobility and the Cosmopolitan Perspective at our research centre on reflexive modernization in Munich in 2004.
Today, COSMOBILITIES has been growing from social science into a strong voice in interdisciplinary research on mobility and transport. Your work still has a significant impact on the mobilities turn in social science. Understanding cosmopolitanization and the globalization of the modern world is impossible without understanding the diverse forms and dynamics of mobilities.
Against this background the COSMOBILITIES NETWORK has become a reflexive place and space for re-thinking the basic principles of modernity and for the future of modern societies.
Congratulations for ten years of innovative scientific work! And all the best for the future and for an exciting conference in Copenhagen.

The Mobile Exhibition is part of the session will be a moderated conversation composed by 5 artistic research practices, that have between the artists. applied to participate in the conference and one film- essay that is added in collaboration with Doc-Eye Film. The aim is to add creative and aesthetic layers to the multi-disciplinary field of mobilities research.
Exhibiting methodological processes of artistic research practices along with art-works or participatory installations does this. The idea is to further embed artistic research into a growing focus on transdisciplinarity within academia. Integration of arts-based practices into academic events is an important part of highlighting and furthering the aesthetic dimensions of knowledge production. The exhibition will take place directly in the conference space and consists of 7 installations in total, presented on the following 3 pages.
The installations both display artistic practices Walking to Work no.3 and invite conference participants to participate in production or moderation of artwork. The exhibition also emphasizes dialogues between artists and researchers both during the exhibition opening on Wednesday night and in a walking panel session on Thursday - hopefully furthering collaborative possibilities between disciplines and countries. The activities in the exhibition are thus themselves artistic processes, where artwork and conversations can emerge and contribute to the “afterlife” of the conference.
