Prof. Dr. Muhammet Berigel and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ekrem Bahçekapılı, faculty members from the Department of Management Information Systems at the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences of Karadeniz Technical University, participated in an international roundtable meeting held in Rome, Italy, on November 5, 2026, where they shared findings from their ongoing research project with the international academic community.

The meeting, titled "Applicability of Adaptive-Predictive Systems in Identifying Migration Trends of Young People" and hosted by the Italian National Research Council (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche – CNR), brought together academics from Italy, Moldova, and Türkiye.

During the meeting, the team presented findings from the project "EMIYA – Youth Migration: Motivations, Trends, and Future Expectations for Moldova and Turkey via an Adaptive-Predictive System." The project is supported under the TÜBÄ°TAK 2530 – National Agency for Research and Development (NARD) of Moldova Bilateral Cooperation Program, with Prof. Dr. Muhammet Berigel serving as the principal investigator and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ekrem Bahçekapılı as a researcher.

The project examines the migration motivations, trends, and future expectations of the youth population in Moldova and Türkiye. It aims to analyze the social, economic, and demographic factors that influence migration decisions and to develop data-driven, adaptive-predictive systems. Throughout the international meeting, scientific assessments were conducted on the current dynamics of youth migration, the use of data-driven methods in analyzing migration trends, the potential of adaptive and predictive models, and the contributions that research findings can make to migration policies.

Another key agenda item was the exploration of opportunities for international academic collaboration. Faculty members from our department exchanged views with academics from Italy and Moldova regarding ongoing research and potential new areas of study. Discussions focused on collaboration opportunities for joint research projects, international scholarly publications, and future academic endeavors.

By bringing together researchers from various countries, the meeting facilitated international-level discussions on the work carried out under the EMIYA project and fostered interdisciplinary academic interaction. Furthermore, it provided a platform to evaluate diverse academic approaches to utilizing data science and adaptive predictive systems in the analysis of social issues.
