This manic lil squirrel had a rough winter. S/he's a little uncoordinated and awkward - just like me! So I've been putting peanuts out for it each day. It's funny to see this little thing grab a peanut and jump, spread eagle, nearly vertically into the air to the wall on the other side of the alley. 😄

In total, our data contains mobility flows of 2,275,868 students, whose mobility is tracked between 152,410 origin and destination pairs across eight years. The spatial units we have used in the spatial aggregation correspond to the most recent #LAU and #NUTS 3 versions for each year.

We used #Photon and #Nominatim #geocoding services to convert the textual place names into geographical locations and aggregated them on the #NUTS and #LAU levels to support usability of our data.

Geocoding the data was not simple. Many place names were entered into the Erasmus+ database manually resulting in diverse place names containing national spellings, typographical mistakes, character encoding errors, and national scripts, which required manual corrections.
