<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Cambria, serif;" class="">You can apply for the Summerschool ‘Interdisciplinary Game Research’. This Summerschool treats the study of games as a playful phenomenon, and teaches theories for the analysis
of rules and narratives. Furthermore, the course provides an overview of a number of enabling technologies, such as animation of virtual characters, crowd simulation, and natural interaction techniques. A number of application domains for serious games are
considered. Persuasive games and techniques, aiming at the changing players' attitude or behavior are analyzed and discussed. The students learn how to make games, including the design and implementation of games.<b class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></b></span></p>
