On 28 April 2016, we organized a pitching event in Utrecht. Game researchers from across the country gave 25 three-minute pitches of their research projects (see www.uu.nl/en/news/a-new-beginning-digra-pitching-event-in-utrecht<http://www.uu.nl/en/news/a-new-beginning-digra-pitching-event-in-utrecht>).
