Game as a research method
Use a game to study behaviour, choices and interactions, or to collect data within a controlled scenario.
Valorisation & knowledge transfer
A game partner for research, education and knowledge transfer
Developing a research or education project? UniGames can join as a development partner, from the first project plan to a tested game. Together, we decide whether the game should support research, teaching or the transfer of results to a wider audience.
Three roles within a project
Where a game can add value
The game does not have to be a separate product at the end of a project. It can be part of the research method, the educational application or the way results reach people outside the consortium.
Game as a teaching method
Translate research knowledge into a serious game that students or professionals can use in education and training.
Game as valorisation
Make project results accessible to a target audience through interaction instead of relying only on a brochure, presentation, website or workshop.
How we contribute
From project plan to tested game
-
01
Shape the project role
We define what the game contributes, who is involved and which deliverables, planning and costs belong in the project.
-
02
Design the method
We work with your experts to turn the research, learning goal or transfer goal into a concept and scenario.
-
03
Prototype and test
We build an early playable version and test whether it is accurate, accessible and useful.
-
04
Deliver and support
We complete the experience for the agreed platform and provide documentation and handover.
