SGA Academic Network Meetups
These SGA Meetups aim to bring together representatives from universities and institutes who are committed to advancing a more sustainable games industry. They serve as a platform to share best practices, current knowledge, innovative ideas, and upcoming projects. The goal is to foster global collaboration and promote more effective and cost-efficient implementation of sustainable practices within the games industry.
Understand how universities and institutes can support game developers of the future by embedding sustainable practices and ecological thinking in training programmes and education, equipping future industry with the skills they need. Our members are already collaborating on shared projects and future funding calls. Let’s work together and share our knowledge!
