Summary
Games are a rapidly evolving, rapidly changing industry, known for their advanced role in ICT. The impact of toys on European culture and society, as well as on its cohesion and values, has not been thoroughly researched. Research should therefore address these knowledge gaps, which include potential differences between age groups, gender and socioeconomic background, the current state of play literacy or the digital divide.
Detailed Call Description
Games are a form of culture where new communication and languages, as well as new artistic expressions, are being developed in particular by younger generations. However, there is limited knowledge about the potential benefits and shortcomings of games in terms of learning and creativity. In today’s ever-expanding market, games and emerging forms of play are involved in many aspects of our societies.
Proposals should address the risks brought by the digital game world on phenomena such as social exclusion, intolerance and harassment, with a view to possible policy options and actions. Proposals should address the role of games in culture and in shaping European societies, their cohesion and values, with the objective of developing new knowledge and evidence for policymaking. Proposals should address legal and IPR issues linked to the gaming population and its creative work. Relevant stakeholders, including CCIs, other creatives, non-commercial interests and policy makers, should be involved to ensure the research and results respond well to the needs. This new knowledge and evidence should provide input for policymaking and for improved practices.
