Dear colleagues,<br>
<br>
Already more than three hundred thirty researchers of which over one
hundred professors working with digital games have shared their
views on the field in this survey endorsed by DiGRA, ECREA TWG
Digital Games Research and ICA SIG Game Studies.<br>
<br>
Are you involved in research on digital games, then please help us
map the field. It should not take more than ten minutes to complete
the survey and if you leave your e-mail address, we will inform you
of the results.<br>

<pre>Dear colleagues,
Digital games research is a young, growing, multidisciplinary field of
study. It spans disciplines as diverse as arts, humanities, social
sciences, psychology, design, computer science, engineering and others.
This diversity and richness is part of its strength but also one of its
challenges.
In order to gain insight into the views and needs of researchers
working with/on digital games, three research organizations have joined
hands to organize an international survey assessing the State of Digital
Games Research.
- Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA), <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.digra.org">www.digra.org</a>
- Digital Games Research Temporary Working Group of the
European Communication Research and Education Association (ECREA),
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.digital-games.eu">www.digital-games.eu</a>
- Game Studies Special Interest Group of the
International Communication Association (ICA), <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://game.icahdq.org">http://game.icahdq.org</a>
Are you conducting or have you conducted research with or on digital
games, then please take time to fill out the survey which should not
take more than 10-15 minutes and which can be found here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://ghentunipss.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6icrOwCGauS0Xkx">https://ghentunipss.eu.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_6icrOwCGauS0Xkx</a>
Also please distribute this survey as widely as possible within your
personal network. The wider its reach, the more representative its
results, which will be presented in the coming months.
For more information, please email <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:j.vanlooy@ugent.be">j.vanlooy@ugent.be</a>
