The European Conference on Games Based Learning was established 19 years ago. It has been held in Austria, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Greece, Norway and France to mention only some of the countries that have hosted it.
ECGBL is generally attended by participants from more than 40 countries and attracts an interesting combination of academic scholars, practitioners, game designers and individuals who are engaged in various aspects of games-based learning and serious games. Among other journals, the Electronic Journal of e-Learning publishes a special edition of the best papers presented at this conference.
The conference is also host to The 14th International Educational Games Competition. On 30th September we will be hosting a playday where conference participants and local players will be able to play the games entered into this year’s competition.
ECGBL 2026 is being held at Technische Universität Darmstadt, TU Darmstadt, Germany.
