ECGBL

16th European Conference on Games Based Learning
6 - 7 October 2022, Lisbon, Portugal

ACI is taking a hybrid approach towards conferences this year. We are planning to run our series of conferences as physical events with the option for participants to join virtually. If when it draws close to the time  of the event we are unable to meet in person due to COVID-19 restrictions the conference will move fully into the virtual format. We urge you to continue to submit your abstracts and papers in line with the published dates (extensions will be granted on request).

Lusófona University, Lisbon, Portugal

Welcome to ECGBL 2022

The European Conference on Games Based Learning was established 15 years ago. It has been held in Austria, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Norway and France to mention only some of the countries that have hosted it. ECGBL is generally attended by participants from more than 40 countries and attracts an interesting combination of academic scholars, practitioners, game designers and individuals who are engaged in various aspects of games-based learning and serious games. Among other journals, the Electronic Journal of e-Learning publishes a special edition of the best papers presented at this conference.  

The conference is also host to The 10th International Educational Games Competition.

ECGBL 2022 is being held at Lusófona University, Portugal on 06 - 07 October 2022

Personal Message from the Conference Chairs

The 16th European Conference on Games Based Learning is hosted by Lusófona University  in Lisbon, Portugal. The conference will cover a wide range of topics, but how GBL approaches could be more inclusive and impact positively on the environment as well as on the well-being and health of people is the main theme of this event. We invite all of the community of researchers, educators, game designers, entrepreneurs, and professionals who are engaged in the study and/or development of games-based learning approaches to participate. Sustainable and inclusive practices and agendas, emergent products or technologies and innovative learning methods based on the interdisciplinary integration of sciences, arts and social disciplines will underpin the expected contributions to this year’s conference.
