iGGi QMUL is located at the heart of East London on Queen Mary, University of London's Whitechapel campus.

iGGi QMUL is part of QMUL’s School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. While QMUL-based iGGi PGRs can belong to more than one research group, they all by default belong to the Game AI Group (GAIG). The iGGi/GAIG office space is situated within the Digital Environment Research Institute (DERI) at Empire House, Whitechapel campus. For information on how to get to the iGGi “Headquarter” at Empire House, please see “How to reach the iGGi Offices at Empire House, Whitechapel” further down this page.
