*** SCOPE ***

Ten years, and ten years more

The 11th Conference on Videogame Sciences and Arts will be held on 
November 27-29, organised by the Departament of Communication and Art of 
the University of Aveiro, and the Society of Video Games Sciences 
(SPCV). The annual conferences of the SPCV promote the scientific 
gathering of international researchers in Portugal. These conferences 
are attended by researchers and professionals in the expanded field of 
videogames — Multimedia, Communication, Technology, Education, 
Psychology and Arts — to disseminate work and exchange experiences 
between the academic community and with the industry.

In 2009 the conference was held at University of Aveiro. 2019 will mark 
the coming back after 10 years. We intend then to show a thorough 
roadmap of the evolution of the national and international game research 
during these 10 years, as also ideas and speculations for the next 10 years.
Also, this time we plan going full international, using as working 
language English, for the CFP, the website, as the Proceedings. 
Therefore, if you've never participated in one Videojogos, this may be 
the best time to do it. We are calling for papers on games research from 
all over the world.
