We are "Shaping the Future" through Simulation & Gaming

In a world where uncertainty looms large, simulation and gaming provide us with powerful tools to explore, experiment, and envision the future. Whether it is modelling the impact of climate change, predicting market trends, or designing urban landscapes, simulation and gaming empower us to shape a better tomorrow. Let’s discuss the opportunities and challenges of “shaping the future” through simulation and gaming. 

Content

The theme of our conference is „Shaping the Future through Simulation and Gaming“. We are pleased to offer generous space for future-oriented topics and to engage in a dialogue about the role of simulation and gaming in this context.

Submissions on topics with the following focus are particularly welcome:

  • Artificial intelligence, big data and automation
  • Augmented and virtual reality
  • Sustainability and climate change
  • Resilience and adaptability
  • City and spatial planning, infrastructure use or development (transport, energy, water…)
  • Urban planning and public participation
  • New work and organisational development
  • Society in transition
  • Innovative social work
  • Lifelong learning and future skills
  • Future-oriented learning and teaching in schools, universities and other institutions
  • Research on facilitation and evaluation
  • Innovations in the public sector
  • National and international conflicts
  • Dealing with crisis and disaster management

The above-mentioned future topics can be considered from a wide variety of simulation and gaming aspects. Be it questions relating to new games and methods, areas of application, facilitation, evaluation etc. Everything is welcome. This also applies to rather general submissions on the subject of simulation and gaming. As always, we look forward to everyone contributing to the discourse.
