  • Researchers will be able to present and share their latest findings.
  • Students will have an opportunity to present their research or showcase their games, and meet specialists in this field  to obtain constructive feedback.
  • Instructors will have the opportunity to discover new game-based teaching approaches and share new game-based skills that they can integrate in their teaching.

Prospective presenters can now submit their abstract through the online submission system.
