ISAGA Summer School 2023
ISAGA Summer School 2023
Theme
Simulation game design and research for complexity dissemination
ISAGA Summer School’s mission is bringing the knowledge and practice of the simulation gaming to the community. In over 25 years, ISS were visited by many scholars and practitioners looking for high quality knowledge on game design and game-based research. During the 5 days program you will be able to learn about design, facilitation and evaluation of simulation games or about designing game-based research, methodologies, analyzing results, implementing outcomes. In both cases, you will be able to work on your own ideas with the coaching and help of our very experienced teachers coming from the simulation gaming community.
