University of Utrecht, Faculty of Arts, Department of New Media and Digital Culture organizes the inaugural world conference in digital games research.

The conference aims to promote high-quality research of games, recognition of game studies as an academic field of enquiry, as well as interdisciplinary collaboration in games research, design and development. The conference will include keynote lectures, paper sessions, symposia, workshops, poster presentations, a Gamefair and numerous social events.
Frans Mäyrä, President, Digital Games Research Association: “The program for the inaugural Digital Games Research Conference 2003, ‘Level Up’, organized by the University of Utrecht in collaboration with DiGRA, looks very promising. The emphasis has been on providing a showroom for the variety and scope of academic games research as it is currently practiced. As you take a look at the program, you will see that it is quite many things. Yet, this is just the opening: the young researchers, students and veterans of academia as well as games research and design professionals meeting in Utrecht will no doubt continue to create even more stimulating, challenging and quality research in the future. On behalf of the DiGRA Executive Board, I welcome you all to Utrecht in November!”
