Disrupting Disciplinary Divides for Digital Futures

In 2022, The Games Institute (GI) ran its first-ever seed funding competition. Thus far, the GI Seed Program has supported eight interdisciplinary collaborations with $110,000 of funding. In addition to this funding, researchers have used the GI labs, equipment, and staff support to meet their research goals.

The Seed Grant recipients have combined their varied expertise to tackle real-world problems facing indigenous communities, healthcare workers, mothers facing homelessness, citizen scientists, and more by creating local solutions to global problems.

On April 19th, 2024, the seed funding recipients will come together at the GI to present their work to the university community.

This is a free event and all are welcome to attend. Registration is required and lunch is provided.

**This event is in person only. Masks are welcome but not required for this event. Please do not attend if you have any cold, flu, or COVID symptoms.**

Join us on July 5th at 1:30 for a panel discussion with three Games Institute (GI) faculty members about their work in games and health. This event will be held both online and in-person and the GI. The panel will feature Dean of Health Dr. Lili Liu, Associate Professor Dr. Michael Barnett-Cowan and SYDE Instructor Dr. John Muñoz.
