Distinguished colleagues,
esteemed researchers, and dear graduate students,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you all to the Fourth International Online Symposium on Graduate Research (DEUISGR 2025), organized by Dokuz Eylül University.

Scientific research and graduate education are at the heart of universities, driving innovation, creativity, and societal progress. This symposium provides a valuable opportunity for graduate students to present their research, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions with peers and experts. It is a platform designed to celebrate the hard work, originality, and curiosity of young researchers.

This year, DEUISGR 2025 will feature contributions from diverse fields, including natural sciences, engineering, architecture, and planning, as well as applied and interdisciplinary sciences. By bringing together students and scholars in a collaborative environment, we hope to foster dialogue, learning, and inspiration.

We sincerely believe that this symposium will not only showcase outstanding research but also strengthen connections, spark new ideas, and create a sense of shared academic community. Let us take full advantage of this opportunity to listen, learn, and share—because the growth of science depends on collaboration and the open exchange of knowledge.

On behalf of the organizing committee, we thank you all for your contributions and enthusiasm, and we wish you a productive and inspiring symposium.

Welcome to DEUISGR 2025.
Prof. Dr. Abdullah SEÇGİN, Chair
