Research and Innovation Converge at FDG 2026 in Copenhagen
FDG 2026 gathers global researchers, educators, and creators at the Royal Danish Academy to explore how games drive scientific discovery, cultural understanding, and technological advancement. The conference theme, “Research through Games; Research for Games,” highlights the dual role of games as both experimental systems and creative works. Attendees engage with cutting‑edge papers, workshops, competitions, and demos that span AI, analytics, design, humanities, and applied game research.
A Premier International Conference on the Future of Digital Games
The 21st annual Foundations of Digital Games conference brings together experts from computer science, engineering, arts, humanities, and social sciences to share new research shaping the future of digital play. With multi‑track programming, hands‑on workshops, and cross‑disciplinary collaboration, FDG 2026 offers a deep dive into how games are built, studied, and used to understand human behavior, culture, and technology. The event continues FDG’s legacy as a leading academic venue for innovative, peer‑reviewed games research.
