*** Learning with Games 2007 ***

 

After a successful call for papers, LG2007 will offer you more than eighty
scientific/technical papers, organised in three parallel sessions and nine
different tracks, describing experiences using Serious Games in Business
Management and Engineering Education, Serious Games for Kids and High School
Education, as well as game programming and pedagogical/psychological issues.


 

The global gaming community is invited to exploit the conference to
disseminate and share its experience. LG2007 will create a
multi-disciplinary forum where teachers, lecturers, researchers, developers,
artists, producers and industrial and academic users come together to share
ideas, knowledge and experience.

LG2007 will be a showcase of the new approach to the learning that can be
achieved using games, making education and training fun and enjoyable.

 

The conference invites leaders from industry, government, funding agencies,
academia and business schools to exchange ideas/views on the new learning
and training tools.

Your attendance at the Conference will offer an excellent opportunity both
to disseminate the results of your research and projects and stimulate your
concepts and ideas to launch innovative research collaborations and projects
for the future.

With a selected attendance, the Conference is the leading initiative to
network with the top-level global industrial and scientific community of
this area.
