Seed Fund project on developing a Joint Master’s Programme focusing on Games for Health

Although Serious Games have demonstrated their value in improving health outcomes, the current deficit in knowledge and educational programs poses a significant challenge that must be overcome. The Seed Fund initiative “Unite! Games4Health” aims to establish an Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters Programme (EMJM) focused on the development and application of Serious Games for health, known as Games for Health (G4H). It seeks to bridge this gap by fostering collaboration between game developers and healthcare experts. By bringing together these two fields, they aim to create a comprehensive understanding of how Serious Games can be effectively utilized in various healthcare settings. Serious Games are designed not only for entertainment, but also to achieve specific goals such as enhancing learning, promoting behaviour change and supporting health prevention and rehabilitation.
