iGGi Partners We are excited to be collaborating with a number of industry partners. IGGI works with industry in some of the following ways: Student Industry Knowledge Transfer - this can take many forms, from what looks like a traditional placement, to a short term consultancy, to an ongoing relationship between the student and their industry partner. Student Sponsorship - for some of our students, their relationship with their industry partner is reinforced by sponsorship from the company. This is an excellent demonstration of the strength of the commitment and the success of the collaborations. In Kind Contributions - IGGI industry partners can contribute by attending and/or featuring in our annual conference, offering their time to give talks and masterclasses for our students, or even taking part in our annual game jam! There are many ways for our industry partners to work with IGGI. If you are interested in becoming involved, please do contact us so we can discuss what might be suitable for you.

We are "Welcoming inclusive Games & Games inclusivity (WiGGi). Our members are staff and students working within the iGGi programme, which is an interdisciplinary team of researchers working in video games research. iGGi WiGGi - Welcoming inclusive Games and Games inclusivity - Introducing WiGGi We are Welcoming inclusive Games and Games inclusivity (WiGGi). We strongly believe that working in video games, whether that be in an academic setting or in industry, should be an inclusive and friendly environment where underrepresented groups (ethnic or cultural minorities, minority genders, religious background etc) especially can thrive and be heard. WiGGi holds the advocacy for these underrepresented groups in video games at the forefront of its agenda, making sure that events we plan, organisations we partner with and the topics we address are topical and engaging for people of a range of backgrounds. Our members are staff and students working within the iGGi programme, which is an interdisciplinary team of researchers working in video games research. We hold meetings every Wednesday, as well as roundtable discussions we call ‘Firesides’ every so often to talk with a range of people about a given relevant topic. For example, one of our Firesides discussed ‘Video games for positive change’. Get involved We would love to partner with more organisations that share a similar goal, or invite in more video game researchers or industry to take part in our events. If you would like to know more or get involved in some way, please contact us via our email: . WiGGi Members Tania Dales Tamsin Isaac Susanne Binder Prakriti Nayak Océane Lissillour Nicole Levermore Lauren Winter Dr Raluca Gaina Alex Flint BLOG Fireside Chat on Video Games for Positive Change Our most recent fireside discussed ‘Video games for positive change’. Our fireside chat on video games for social change was an engaging and thought-provoking discussion. We delved deeply into the representation of women in video games and explored how these portrayals impact our gaming experiences. This focus sparked an exchange of diverse perspectives, highlighting how inclusive representation can shape and transform player engagement. Each participant brought unique insights on how characters and narratives influence players’ connection to games and reflect broader social themes. Through this dialogue, we gained a richer understanding of how thoughtfully crafted games can inspire change and foster empathy, creating a more inclusive gaming culture for everyone.
