MOBILE explores how legal decisions shape the possibilities for cross-border mobility. Gammeltoft-Hansen, together with his team, aims to create new societal value through research that bridges law and other fields. Together with researchers and collaborators, the center is developing data-driven and AI-based tools to support fairer and more efficient decisions in asylum cases and migration policy.
