Invited speakers will report on their recent and ongoing work and provide an outlook on major lines and challenges ahead in their respective fields. Do not hesitate to forward this message and the attached PDF invitation to your PhD students, colleagues, and anybody who might be interested in the talk and discussion. We look forward to lively participation and discussion! René Westerholt and the RAM team Abstract: International student mobility is a key part of the UK higher education sector. My PhD research examines past, present, and future trends in student applications. The first paper presented employs a multi-level negative binomial model to analyse factors influencing applications from 2009?2019. The second paper that I present investigates Brexit and COVID-19 impacts using difference-in-difference and regression frameworks. Finally, I compare forecasting methods and explore machine learning techniques to predict future applications. These insights shed light on how demographic, political, and economic changes may shape international student mobility in the UK. Overall, my research provides a comprehensive understanding of international student applications and their future trajectory. Speaker bio: Ruth Neville is a PhD student at the Geographic Data Science Lab (GDSL) at the University of Liverpool and is currently a visiting researcher at the Digital and Computational Demography Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR). Her research sits at the intersection of spatial data science, population geography, and demography. Ruth is particularly interested in the influences and patterns of human mobility and how mobility responds to external shocks and policy changes. -- Jun.-Prof. Dr René Westerholt FRGS TU Dortmund University Spatial Modelling Lab, Department of Spatial Planning August-Schmidt-Str. 10, 44227 Dortmund, Germany [Voice] +49 (0)231 755 2287 [Email] rene.westerholt at tu-dortmund.de [Web (uni)] https://ram.raumplanung.tu-dortmund.de [Web (private)] https://www.westerholt-giscience.net Wichtiger Hinweis: Die Information in dieser E-Mail ist vertraulich.
