The Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies at Tampere University is organising an event series GameCult Talks: Discussing games in culture and society aiming to promote discussion around societal aspects of game culture. In the first event, organised on Friday 13 November, the discussion will focus on promoting equity in the game industry, player communities, and game education.

The Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies is launching a new event series titled GameCult Talks: Discussing games in culture and society. The series aims to create and strengthen dialogue between researchers and other societal actors on current game cultural topics in our culture and society. The events bring together game studies researchers, industry experts, cultural institutions, community representatives, activists, and policy makers to develop and highlight new initiatives into building sustainable game culture for our future.

The first event in the series, themed Equity in games and play, will be organised on Friday 13 November from 12:00 to 16:00 UTC+2. The event will offer concise 10-minute presentations from the CoE GameCult researches as well as various experts from the Finnish game industry, organisations, and communities to present different perspectives into equity in games, in Finland and globally, and to introduce various significant initiatives aiming to advance equity in the game industry and game cultures.
