Eladhari<\/a> and HEVGA Executive Director <a href=\"https:\/\/hevga.org\/bio-jonathan\/\">Jonathan Elmergreen<\/a>, the 2018 symposium will focus on three primary topics:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The meeting will discuss a potential agenda and action points for the newly create &#8220;European council&#8221; of HEVGA. Europe is politically, legally and geographically interlinked which offers a number of unique advantages. We have Schengen, ease of travel, ease of working abroad, funding opportunities, and more. On the flip side we have equally unique challenges: Brexit being a big one, different educational systems another. To have an effective Alliance, there will need to be a council with focus on uniquely European challenges and opportunities, as well as organized representation within the global (but US-heavy) Alliance.<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<li>A practical strengthening of the Alliance through <strong>Erasmus agreements<\/strong>. European education has the advantage of Erasmus &#8211; allowing the sharing of staff, and students. While there are shortcomings to this program (Who do you invite? What do they teach? When are they available) &#8211; the symposium intends to look at ways to lessen the friction of this process and allow staff to build a practical, working network using the infrastructure already in place. \n<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>The start of <strong>a Research School at postgraduate level<\/strong>. This is a little more ambitious. There is a concern that Game Design doesn\u2019t have a dedicated level of research. This is due to the lack of PhD courses in the subject. A proposed Research School would share the burden, and cost, of teaching at this level, and allow for integrated, pan European research. While this is not a new idea &#8211; conversation about a European Research School always flounders at the Funding Question: where is the money for it? &#8211; the meeting wants to look at ways of joint financing or, at the very least, putting together a solid framework for a European Research School such that the idea is \u201capplication ready\u201d in the event of finance being available.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Leaving the island on the 8th?<\/h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swedavia.com\/visby\/#gref\">taking a flight<\/a> off the island on the 8\/6, you should book a cab to pick you up at the campus ~40 minutes before take-off.
