Center for Applied Game Studies

Combining expertise from game-, media- and education studies, the Center for Applied Game Studies aims to address the complex relationships between games and society in teaching and research. The work of the Center thus takes place in a transdisciplinary field in which applied and basic research cannot be separated from one another, and in which a broad spectrum of methods is required, ranging from experimental development to qualitative and quantitative social research to anthropological, humanistic and cultural investigations.
