Call for participation
----------------------
After Leveling Up in the Netherlands (2003), Changing Views in Canada
(2005), Situated Play in Japan (2007) and Breaking New Ground in England
(2009) the 5th DiGRA Conference returns to Utrecht for Think Design Play

The goal of the DiGRA conference is to advance the study of games and
playfulness. DiGRA 2011 seeks to connect game research to the creative
industries and society by fostering the development of an integrated
practice of game research, design, engineering, entrepreneurship and
play. The conference is designed as a physical and online playground for
meaningful dialogue between all players in the field of games. Whilst
the conference will include the presentation of (peer-reviewed) papers
and practice, invited talks and workshops, we are also very interested
in supporting alternative forms and processes through which to
participate and stimulate debate and discussion.

Topics

The focus of the 2011 DiGRA conference is on integrated practices of
