Our Webinar on Gamification & Serious Games in the Metaverse took place on 26 February.

The event opened the recruitment for our Advanced Training Programme. Check https://academic-offer.vic-eu.com/advanced-training-programme/ for more information.

During this focused session, we explored how gamification, game design, and serious games can transform social XR spaces and metaverses into engaging, inclusive, and meaningful experiences. Participants discovered how to choose the right representation styles, interaction models, and game mechanics to align technology, audience needs, and project goals.
The webinar also highlighted how motivational design, storytelling, and Positive Psychology shape user behaviour, participation, and emotional connection in immersive environments.

culture, and design", said Professor Gisela Canelhas at the VIC 2025 Conference on 29 October in Lisbon. The event is part of Virtual Innovation Consortium project, co-funded by the EU. ISTEC - Instituto Superior de Tecnologias Avançadas.

Organized under the Virtual Innovation Consortium (VIC) — a European project co-financed by the Digital Europe Program and coordinated by ISTEC Lisboa — the conference was attended by 14 speakers from various academic institutions, research centers and technology companies.

Over several thematic sessions and communications, the event explored the role of immersive technologies (XR) in the transformation of sectors such as education, health, culture, design, architecture and industry, highlighting their potential to drive innovation, skills development and collaboration between different areas.

The VIC Conference 2025 represented an important milestone for the project, reinforcing the consortium's commitment to bridging the digital skills gap in Europe and promoting a more inclusive, collaborative and innovative digital future.
