digital entertainment content and experience systems. In addition, it 
brings together research on education and entertainment. This event 
covers a diverse array of related research issues, including game-based 
learning and other learning experiences associated with entertainment.

*COVID-19 Information*
We are fully aware that the situation regarding Covid-19 is a cause for 
concern. Hopefully, vaccination and traveling measures will have been 
adopted and the situation being normalised after the summer and 
therefore will hardly affect our conference schedule. Nevertheless, for 
those not being able to travel, we have measures to facilitate remote 
participation. It is our plan to bring all conference rooms online, 
enabling both local and distance engagement.

All accepted papers will be indexed by EI, and be published in book form 
in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. In 
addition, selected best papers from the conference will be invited for 
submission of an extended version to a special issue of Entertainment 
Computing (published by Elsevier). In addition, this edition will 
feature a special track where authors of selected recent papers from the 
Journal of Entertainment Computing (Elsevier), will be invited to 
present their work at the conference.
