Join us for an engaging online event that inspires participants to think about the future possibilities of a more inclusive gaming sector. We’ll discuss inclusivity both within industry and on the gamers’ and spectators’ side, through discussion and presentations from those working at the forefront of inclusivity efforts. This workshop will explore challenges and best practices in inclusivity in gaming and how policy and innovation can support industry-wide change. We’ll explore how best to make significant contributions to policy in this area through attendees’ insights to find recommendations that best align with industry needs.

This Innovation Factory event is presented by researchers from the University of Edinburgh as part of the European Cultural and Creative Sectors and Industries Policy Platform (ekip) – an interdisciplinary four-year Horizon Europe initiative running from September 2023–August 2027. The programme focuses on how open innovation ecosystems can be leveraged to support diverse and inclusive development of immersive and convergent technologies through a strong network of networks across Creative and Cultural Industries (CCIs) in Europe and beyond.
