Game Studies and Engineering at HaruCon

From 3 to 4 May, Game Studies and Engineering has been present at the HaruCon in Klagenfurt. As every year, the programme direction hosted an info-booth about Game Studies and Engineering @ AAU, enabled students to showcase their current game projects, and organised a workshop for those interested in the programme’s research.

The annual HaruCon is the biggest gaming, pop-culture, and fandom event in Carinthia. Attracting several thousand visitors over the weekend, it has ever since been a great opportunity for the master’s programme Game Studies and Engineering to present itself to an excited crowd of tech and play enthusiasts and to show them that their interest plays an important role in the academic landscape of the region.
