Predicting flow analysis, Braindrain, Policy making support

Migration Studies

SoBigData techniques to understand and model human migrations at the macroscopic level may help public bodies in predicting flows and efficiently applying strategies to manage them. Moreover, this sector includes social behavior analysis to evaluate the visitors' sociocultural integration. This section embraces the analysis of various types of human migration with their peculiarities and specificities. In fact, the migration flows include  not only the movement of people escaping from a poor situation or a country involved in wars, but also, for example,  the movement of researchers from one country to another (i.e., brain drain effect).
