Internationale und interdisziplinäre Netzwerke stellen einen zentralen Aspekt der Arbeit von mobil.TUM dar.

Für die Entwicklung einer nachhaltigen Mobilitäts- und Verkehrsforschung sind sie ein zentrales Instrument, ohne das der Anspruch auf Interdisziplinarität nicht eingelöst werden kann. mobil.TUM koordiniert gegenwärtig die folgenden Netzwerke und Aktivitäten:

Cosmobilities (www.cosmobilities.net)

The Cosmobilities Network (www.cosmobilities.net) is a young network funded by the German Research Association (DFG). Founded in 2004 it connects more than 300 European scientists working in the field of social science based mobility and transport research, today. It is a lively context of intellectual and academic exchange. As an interdisciplinary network it represents state of the art research on different aspects of social, physical, cultural and virtual mobilities.
It fosters mobility research as a key discipline for the modernization of European societies under the conditions of globalization and global complexity.
The www.cosmobilities.net website is an information platform. It supports scientific exchange and meeting each other in virtual or real space. The website is also a too for cooperation. Members of the network cooperate by using network tools such as moodle to develop joint projects and applications.
Beyond communication between the members the cosmobilities network continuously organizes common workshops, conferences, publications, and projects. The network stimulates the development of common research projects and publications.

NECTAR (http://www.nectar-eu.org/)

NECTAR is a scientific European network. It is a new association with a network culture which has been developed in the framework of a European Science Foundation Network.
NECTAR is a European-based scientific association. The primary objective is to foster research collaboration and exchange of information between experts in the field of transport, communication and mobility from all European countries and the rest of the world.
NECTAR is concerned with transport and communication issues. These are closely connected with all aspects of spatial behaviour of individuals, groups and governments.
NECTAR is a multidisciplinary social science network. It brings together a wide variety of perspectives on transport and communication problems and their impacts on society in an international perspective.
Andreas Rau (mobil.TUM) and Gebhard Wulfhorst (department of urban structure and transport planning) chair the NECTAR cluster on accessibility.
