< Back iGGi at Develop:Brighton 2023 Following the previous year’s success, the iGGi stand featured again on the Expo floor of the 2023 Develop:Brighton conference . This year’s Expo saw a record breaking 4970 visitors over the two days of its running (43% up from 3471 in 2022), and many of these visitors dropped by the iGGi stand to chat to us. Shifts at the iGGi stand were covered by the conference-attending iGGi PG Researchers (15 in total) who appreciated a break from their (often solitary) thesis/research work. With its stand presence at the Develop:Brighton Expo, iGGi is promoting the intersection between games industry and research. We are looking to engage the two in conversation. We want to foster ways of knowledge exchange that are mutually beneficial to both sides. If you want to learn more about existing pathways of knowledge exchange between iGGi and games companies, you can check out our Industry Info + KE page , but we are also always open for new ideas and formats. Please do get in touch if you require any further information. Previous 14 Jul 2023 Next

< Back iGGi Seminar with Creative Assembly: Life After Doctorate Last week, four members of Creative Assembly joined us to talk about their experience of life (in the industry, and in general) after their PhD as well as broader issues around the connection between academic and industry work. Speakers comprised: Duygu Ç akmak (Research and Development Director) Tim Gosling (AI Technical Director) Derek Fagan (Senior AI/Gameplay Programmer) Tristan Smith (Senior AI Programmer) Fittingly, the “Life After A PhD” seminar took place on International Women’s Day, so: On a very related note, iGGi would like to congratulate one of the panellists, namely CA Research and Development Director Duygu Çakmak for winning the FDM everywoman in Technology Awards (Software Engineer Award)! During the event, Duygu pointed out that she was the only one of the four speakers who has not done a PhD, but "loves working with academics". We can reassure her that her scope of skills and ambitious portfolio certainly don't count for less. Thank you everyone who attended these events - we hope you found them interesting and useful! And an even bigger THANKS to the CA team: for joining us on the day and sharing your insights!! Previous 13 Mar 2023 Next

< Back 2020 Cohort Mini-Conference The recent 2020 cohort Mini-Conference was a great success! It was held in York and focused on highlighting the work being submitted and published by the iGGi PGRs at this stage in their projects. The cohort members had a chance to meet one another (as due to the pandemic, some still had not ever met before!) and to take a deep dive in to each-other's work, sharing knowledge in a simultaneously bonding and educational trip. The meet certainly fostered ideas for some collaborations between students, so watch this space! Previous 20 Apr 2022 Next
