CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
Fun and Games 2010 is a single-track, 2-day conference where academics

reviewed academic and practitioner papers, posters and live demos.
Furthermore, the conference encourages student designers/developers to 
submit their works to the Fun and Games Design Competition. The nominees

VENUE
The conference will be held at the campus of Social Sciences and the 
Campus of Groep T,  in the heart of Leuven. Leuven nests the oldest 
Catholic university in the world, founded  in 1425 and has been a 
university city ever since. Leuven owes much of its character to the 
numerous university college buildings dating from the 16th and 17th 
centuries. Other fine examples of this flamboyant gothic architecture 
are the main market square, the finely sculpted Town Hall and Saint 
Peter's church with its magnificent interior and the Old Market. The Old 
Market is also known as the longest beer bar in the world, serving an 
abundant amount of fine Belgians beer. Indeed, Leuven is also the home 
of Inbev,  the largest beer brewing company in the world. Today, the 
charming city streets are filled with young faces, the city lives at a 
student's rhythm. Shops, restaurants, cinemas, sports facilities and 
places of historical interest are all close together to mingle in a 
thriving atmosphere.
