The future of the European Games Based Learning Industry RAGE, Realising an Applied Gaming Eco-system, aims to develop, transform and enrich advanced technologies from the leisure games industry into self-contained gaming assets that support game studios at developing applied games easier, faster and more cost-effectively. These assets will be available along with a large volume of high-quality knowledge resources through a self-sustainable Ecosystem, which is a social space that connects research, gaming industries, intermediaries, education providers, policy makers and end-users. The presentation will discuss some initial findings of the project and how these might inform, shedding new light on the future development of Applied Games industry in Europe.  In a follow up discussion, we will explore possible business models and the possibilities and issues for developing and sustaining the RAGE Eco-system.      MAGELLAN's overall vision is to enhance the creativity of game designers by establishing a web platform for cost-effectively authoring, publishing, executing, and experiencing location based games. This unique integrated web-based infrastructure will be targeted at both skilled professional authors, but also at everyday authors without deep technical skills. MAGELLAN will be underpinned by scientific research into the principles and technologies of creative and location-based experiences in order to ensure that the platform is innovative while also extending our broader scientific understanding of creativity.   Register here!   If you would like to be on the mailing list for future events, please email dmll@coventry.ac.uk.
