The joint research starting from February 2022 to July 2023 will proceed under the topic of ‘Connecting Mobilities Research between the UK and South Korea: narrating, mobilizing, experimenting and engaging mobilities for just futures’.

The four institutions including the Mobility Humanities Institute, Royal Holloway University of London, Lancaster University and Aberystwyth University will hold joint academic conferences and workshops and work on scholar exchange as well as joint publication. Based on these achievements, they plan to win international research funds including the EU and conduct joint research activities in the future.
