During the 2025 academic year, the Departments of Industrial Engineering, Management Engineering, Economics, and Data Science and Analytics within the Faculty of Management at Istanbul Technical University conducted a comprehensive seminar series that brought together multiple disciplines. Organized at the faculty level, these seminars provided an important platform both for the dissemination of academic research and for introducing current research areas to graduate students.

Throughout the year, a wide range of speakers, including professors, assistant professors, researchers, and doctoral-level scholars, delivered seminars at the faculty. The speakers comprised not only academics from various departments at ITU but also researchers with academic experience at national and international institutions. Seminar topics covered a broad and interdisciplinary spectrum, including the responses of financial markets to macroeconomic developments, machine learning applications in production systems, humanitarian and strategic logistics, organizational behavior and workplace inclusivity, age-friendly environments in aging societies, and strategy design in emerging markets.

Seminars coordinated by the Department of Management Engineering focused on doctoral and advanced research in finance, production, strategy, and organizational behavior. The seminars organized by the Department of Data Science and Analytics emphasized artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data-driven decision support systems. Meanwhile, the Departments of Industrial Engineering and Economics contributed to the faculty-wide program by presenting academic studies in areas such as production, optimization, economic analysis, and policy evaluation.

The 2025 seminar program strengthened academic interaction within the faculty while fostering collaboration among researchers from different disciplines and encouraging the development of shared discussion areas. These seminars constituted a significant component of the Faculty of Management’s research-oriented approach and supported its culture of academic production aligned with international standards.
