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, keynote speeches, a poster session, an exhibition, and a game competition.

GALA Conference 2023 (12th edition) is an event organized by the Serious Games Society in collaboration with Technological University Dublin (Faculty of Computer Science and Digital Media). The Serious Games Society is building an international scientific community for shaping future research in the field. 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.

Technological University Dublin is Ireland’s first technological university, established on 1 January 2019,and with a history stretching back to 1887 through the amalgamated Dublin Institute of Technology which progressed from the first technical education institution in Ireland, the City of Dublin Technical Schools. It is the second-largest third-level institution in Ireland, with a student population of 28,500.
