*New* Join the Mobility and Migration Modeling Intercomparison Project (3MIP)

Posted: 10/8/2025 ()

The Mobility and Migration Modeling Intercomparison Project (3MIP) invites you to join a new initiative to advance the modeling of migration and mobility in the context of climate change.

Over the past decades, migration modeling capacity has expanded considerably, with diverse approaches including ABM, IAM, Gravity, Radiation, and others. Similar to how model intercomparison projects (MIPs) such as AgMIP and ISIMIP have strengthened agricultural and climate modeling, 3MIP aims to improve the robustness, comparability, and usability of migration models. By standardizing methods, characterizing uncertainties, and setting shared benchmarks, we hope to build a foundation for stronger science and policy applications.

This initiative is jointly supported by Princeton’s CPREE, Cornell University’s Department of Global Development, and the Columbia Climate School. Our long-term goal is to develop a suite of cases and benchmarks for comparison. We begin with a first case study on coastal flooding and mobility in Bangladesh.

3MIP warmly invites:

• Modelers, model users, and users of model outputs
• Experts in migration, mobility, and coastal flooding
• Especially, scholars and practitioners from Bangladesh

Opportunities for participation include:

• Regular online engagements with the 3MIP community
• Contributions to comparative case studies
• Participation in a planned conference session at the 2026 iEMS meeting (Dublin)
• Contributions to a forthcoming Topical Collection in Climatic Chang
