TRACK / FORMAT: GDC Education Summit / Panel
DESCRIPTION: This panel presents five case studies from different game laboratories, exploring their role in the curriculum and as a research venue. The examples include game labs in humanities/liberal arts departments, computer science departments and cinematic arts departments, and the recommendations can be easily extended to schools in a number of disciplines.

The presenters will address some of the following questions:
- What is a game lab? Why build a game lab?
- What are the requirements to set one up?
- What is the role of a game lab in the academic curriculum?
- How can be the activities of a game lab become part of research?
- How does a game lab enable/facilitate/manage collaboration between departments / institutions / countries / academia-industry?

TAKEAWAY: The case studies will provide attendees with examples of how to structure, grow and support a game lab in different contexts, which they will be should be able to adapt to the context of their own institutions.
