Games and Learning Alliance Conference 2026
GALA Conf 2025 Springer LNCS Proceedings (Free for participants – 4 week validity)
The objective of GALA Conf is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical, technical, and applied areas of serious games. These objectives are accomplished through different means: presentation sessions, workshops, keynote speeches, a poster session, an exhibition, and a game competition.
GALA Conference 2026 (15th edition) is an event organized by the Serious Games Society in collaboration with the University of L’Aquila. This community represents a significant blend of industrial and academic professionals committed to the study, development, and deployment of serious games as useful and effective tools to support better teaching, learning, training, and assessment.
We are actively seeking original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in game-based learning. Discover the topics of interest, author instructions, and important dates for our tracks.
Contributions covering Educational Science, AI, Cognitive Science, Tech, and Game Design.
A mentoring-oriented event for early and late-stage PhD students to foster reflection and growth.
A forum to present ongoing, preliminary, or exploratory work and receive early constructive feedback from the community.
