NORDIC SERIOUS GAMES CONFERENCE
Nordic countries have versatile expertise for cross-sector excellence in the emerging field of Serious Games. As part of interactive media industry this field focuses on designing and using digital games for real-life purposes such as education, health care, safety, public policy, and business development. The Nordic Conference of Serious Games invites all actors, academic, public as well as commercial, to gather to explore the Nordic know-how in the area.
The Nordic Conference of Serious Games will take place on February 28-29, 2008 in Jyväskylä, Finland. The conference aims to create a multi-disciplinary forum where actors from academia as well as industry and a multitude of end-user organizations come together to share experiences, ideas and knowledge.
In the conference there will be the main conference and the young scientist workshop for doctoral students. The young scientist workshop will consist of theme introductions of experts on the conference topics as well as the presentations of young scientists on their research. Also, we will provide an avenue for game developers and designers to showcase their works during the game program.
