Speaker: Tim Peacock, University of Glasgow
Date: 25 September, 2026
Time: 16:00 - 17:00

How may gaming techniques be used in universities to find new ways of studying, simulating and sharing advanced technologies and concepts, from AI to Quantum, with varied audiences? This seminar will provide a brief snapshot of projects to develop such games, both physical and digital, as research and learning tools in the University of Glasgow's Games & Gaming Lab (UofGGamesLab). This cross-disciplinary Lab involves around 300 staff/students and alumni, in Subject areas across all four Colleges, from Archaeology and Computing Science to Urban Studies and Virus Research.
