International call for projects

Financial Support

This year’s endowment is €45,000. Each project will be eligible for a maximum grant of €20,000.

Expected projects outcomes

The appointed teams are expected to contribute to Game in Lab’s diffusion and scientific popularization actions in the form of articles (scientific or otherwise), published on Game in Lab’s website, or in other journals or media. Project leaders will also be invited to attend events organized or supported by Game in Lab.

This year, Game in Lab is introducing impact as a criterion in the assessment of proposals. We use “impact” to mean the potential benefit of research to people and communities beyond academia, including to society, culture, the economy, or policy more broadly.
All applicants are asked to an impact statement as part of their proposal, addressing two questions: who, beyond the academic community, might benefit from this research; and how they might benefit. Applicants should also describe any steps they plan to take to support this, such as through partnerships, engagement activities, or other forms of knowledge exchange with non-academic stakeholders.
For more information, please see our article.
