56th ISAGA Conference

Founded in the seventies, ISAGA is one of the oldest communities of people involved in the domain of gaming and simulation. Its members cover a vast knowledge and tradition in developing and using simulation, gaming, and related methods. Today, the community brings together researchers and practitioners from the fields of management, social and environmental sciences, education, planning, and technical sciences. They study the design, facilitation, and debriefing methods as well as evaluation protocols of gaming/simulation. Join us at the Stuttgart conference for dynamic discussions and fresh insights on this fascinating topic!

The theme of our conference is „Shaping the Future through Simulation and Gaming“. We are pleased to offer generous space for future-oriented topics and to engage in a dialogue about the role of simulation and gaming in this context.

Submissions on topics with the following focus are particularly welcome:

• Artificial intelligence, big data and automation
• Augmented and virtual reality
• Sustainability and climate change
• Resilience and adaptability
• City and spatial planning, infrastructure use or development (transport, energy, water…)
• Urban planning and public participation
• New work and organisational development
• Society in transition
• Innovative social work
• Lifelong learning and future skills
• Future-oriented learning and teaching in schools, universities and other institutions
• Research on facilitation and evaluation
• Innovations in the public sector
• National and international conflicts
• Dealing with crisis and disaster management

The above-mentioned future topics can be considered from a wide variety of simulation and gaming aspects. Be it questions relating to new games and methods, areas of application, facilitation, evaluation etc. Everything is welcome. This also applies to rather general submissions on the subject of simulation and gaming. As always, we look forward to everyone contributing to the discourse.
