The research on movement data is developing fast, with applications spanning from health, mobility and sustainability research to movement ecology and climate change. Extensive technologies and data are available that facilitate developing new analytical methods and movement insights. However, open science remains a challenge in the field of computational movement analysis. Movement data and mobility insights are often proprietary and their usage is restricted due to inherent locational privacy and representation issues. Moreover, limited efforts have been made on investigating reproducibility and transferability of movement analytics across application domains and geographic scales.

This workshop brings researchers and technology developers from academia and industry together to discuss these challenges and new advancements in the field across disciplines. The discussions intend to identify gaps and opportunities for advancing open science using movement data through integrative and multidisciplinary approaches to study movement across different disciplines.
