Considered more or less as a niche theme in Germany, Serious Games in the Anglo-American environment form the interface between entertainment technologies and applications in the institutional as well as the educational sector. Serious Games make use of technologies from the entertainment software industry for basic and further education, training and simulation.
For a long time, companies operating in the medical and military fields have made use of technologies and game principles originating from the entertainment software sector. Even the public sector is attaching increasing importance to the reality simulations of learning-oriented PC, video and console games.
The conference will be organized by nordmedia, the media company of the states of Lower Saxony and Bremen. nordmedia has been active for a long time in the promotion of digital media and is especially committed to strengthening the entertainment software branch. Besides organizing the Serious Games Conference, the Digital Media Cluster operational unit of the state media sponsorship organization also organizes the German developer and publisher event “Game Focus Germany” on an annual basis. As cooperation partners, it has been possible to involve the German Association of Interactive Entertainment Software (BIU), the interest representatives of producers as well as suppliers of entertainment software in Germany.
