WINTER WORKSHOP
CHALLENGING METHODS FOR GAMES RESEARCH

Friday 11 and Saturday 12 December 2015

A two-day workshop by ECREA digital games research
Belgium, Ghent, Het Pand

The ECREA Section Digital Games Research (www.digital-games.eu) is 
organizing an exclusive two-day workshop on the methodological 
challenges facing current empirical digital games research. Its goal is 
to identify focal areas, gather best practices and develop a strategy 
for further action. It provides a platform for researchers with 
different backgrounds and perspectives to exchange ideas and learn from 
each other’s experiences. The end result will be a joint publication 
based on the outcomes of the workshop.

Call for presentations:
We invite the submission of proposals for 7-minute presentations 
discussing interesting challenges or creative solutions to empirical 
games research questions. Methods under consideration include but are 
not limited to survey research, experimental research, observational 
studies, content analysis, interview-based research, etc., and they can 
be related to any step in the research process: developing theory, study 
design, data collection, analysis or reporting.

If you are interested, please submit an abstract of maximum 500 words 
that includes: a) topic under discussion; b) rationale for the selected 
question or phenomenon and c) anticipated discussion directions before 
16 November to winterworkshop[at]digital-games[dot]eu.

Intended audience:
International games researchers, in communication science, media 
psychology, HCI, educational science & beyond.
