Since its establishment in 1999, ITU has established a tradition for close collaboration with research organizations as well as industry and professional and industrial bodies, nationally and internationally. In its relatively short time of operation, ITU has been successful in innovation, global interaction, achieving high academic standards and the creation of value. The Center for Computer Games Research was formally established in 2003, building on ongoing work in the area at the ITU since its founding in 1999. The center houses a multi-disciplinary research group with backgrounds in the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences and Computer Science. Members of the group are involved in editorial boards of the most respected journals in the fields of game studies, game culture, game AI and affective modeling and IEEE Task Forces focusing on games.

Like other media disciplines, such as television studies and film studies, game studies often involves textual analysis and audience theory. Game studies tends to employ more diverse methodologies than these other branches, drawing from both social science and humanities approaches.
