Mobile Tartu 2026 Conference

The biannual conference will take place already in June 2026!

The Mobility Lab of the University of Tartu welcomes you to the 10th Mobile Tartu Conference! 

Mobile Tartu Conference focuses on mobile big data analytics for just and sustainable societies.

Mobile Tartu 2026 includes two parallel in-person events:

International Conference on June 8-10, 2026

PhD School on June 7-10, 2026 (Participation in the PhD School also includes the International Conference)

What the conference is about?

The conference series connects a strong community of mobility researchers, both early career researchers and leading scholars, as well as professionals from public and private sectors to discuss the latest research and applications in human mobility and mobile big data.

The conference features keynote speeches, panel discussions, paper sessions, and a rich social programme with vibrant discussions about the conceptual, methodological, and empirical aspects of measuring mobility with the help of mobile big data and understanding related socio-spatial and human-environmental interactions.

What the PhD School is about?

The conference also includes a PhD School with lectures, poster sessions, and hands-on workshops on mobile big data applications for understanding human mobility. The first day workshops and lectures (7 June) will be held in an out-of-town location (transport provided to all registered participants). The rest of the PhD School (8-10 June) will take place in Tartu, and is fully integrated to the main conference programme.

Abstract submission and registration information for the Conference and PhD School will be announced in autumn 2025.
