It will consist of a two-week intensive programme during which students are encouraged to develop their research ideas further.

Sähköpostilista / Mailing list Hei peleistä ja pelitutkimuksesta kiinnostunut!
Suomalainen pelitutkimuksen postituslista on perustettu. Listan tarkoitus on tuoda aiempaa tehokkaammin yhteen pelien tutkimuksesta kiinnostuneita, ja se on avoin moninaiselle keskustelulle ajankohtaisista pelikulttuurista ilmiöistä. Lista ei ole sidoksissa mihinkään yksittäiseen tutkimusyksikköön vaan toimii kansainvälisen pelitutkimusyhdistyksen (DIGRA, www.digra.org) alaisuudessa. Samalla lista toimii DIGRAn paikallistoiminnan informaatiokanavana.
