Monday, March 7, 2022

Games Institute Executive Director Neil Randall and other representatives from The University of Waterloo are working together on a trans-Atlantic collaboration with The University of Warwick, focusing on collegiate esports.

Members of the two schools have been meeting to share their experiences and discuss ways that they can help each other innovate and grow their esports programs.

UW Professor Ian Rowlands, Associate Vice-President, International, explains,

“We – in Waterloo International – have been delighted to be, with our friends in Warwick, co-conveners of this initiative. This is an outstanding opportunity for Waterloo to work with a valued international partner in a burgeoning area. Esports offers such great potential across multiple parts of Waterloo’s mission – learning, research, community – that it is little wonder that this initiative has brought together different parts of the campus in collaboration.”
