New project P JAC and an interview

We are excited to be part of the prestigious four-year Johannes Amos Comenius (P JAC) grant!

The principal investigator of the project Society in Motion: Opportunities and Risks of New Forms of Mobility for Czech Society and Economy is Prof. Martin Ouředníček, the head of our research team. The project partners include the Faculty of Science at Masaryk University and the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

The project focuses on research in:

• Mobility, migration, and socio-spatial inequalities
• A new phase of economic and social globalization
• Transformational processes in the settlement system and metropolitan areas
• The impact of new technologies, big data, and cartographic visualization

The main research goal is to conduct multidisciplinary research through five research objectives. The project aims to generate new insights, methodological approaches, and innovative analytical methods, as well as develop advanced modeling tools and cartographic visualization techniques.

The project is divided into five research objectives, which are interconnected through the composition of research teams from partner institutions, shared theoretical concepts, and methodological approaches.

Learn more about the project in an interview with Prof. Martin Ouředníček.
