Dr. Pierpaolo Dondio has been selected as a program chair for the 10th Games and Learning Alliance Conference (GALA 2021). GALA 2021 is an international conference dedicated to the science and application of serious games, which will be organised on 1-2 December 2021 as a fully virtual conference.

The conference objective is to provide an international forum for the dissemination and exchange of scientific information on theoretical, generic, and applied areas of serious games. These objectives will be accomplished through different means: keynote presentations, presentation sessions, a poster session, tutorials, an exhibition and a competition.

GALA 2021 is an event organized by the Serious Games Society in collaboration with the NATO Science and Technology Organisation – Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation. 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. The GALA Conference 2021 Proceedings will be published on Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS, indexed by Scopus), and the best papers in a special issue of the Int.l Journal of Serious Games, indexed by ESCI WoS.
