The theme of the congress, under the motto “The map and the game. Game Studies in Spain ”seeks to establish a network of knowledge focused both on the people involved (research groups, doctoral students and researchers), as well as on the situation of the discipline itself and the existing studies and lines of research in the territory. .  

In this sense, it will have 44 presentations by 68 authors, which focus on the different forms of play, whether analog or digital, as well as on phenomena related to the playful dimension and its context. In addition, the congress will have 3 main speakers with great international experience: Susana Tosca (University of Roskilde, Denmark), Clara Fernández Vara (NYU Game Center of New York University) and Nelson Zagalo (University of Aveiro, Portugal) .
