<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Center for Computer Games Research''' is located at the [[IT University of Copenhagen]], Denmark and was one of the first academic departments entirely dedicated to the scholarly study of digital gaming. Originally a part of the Department of Digital Aesthetics and Communication and spun off into its own independent unit in 2003, the Center was notable at the time for its sole specialization in gaming. It has historically been a multidisciplinary unit with faculty from fields ranging from literature to sociology to [[computer science]]. It has hosted a number of key conferences over the years including Other Players (2004), the 2005 iteration of the [[Digital Arts and Culture]] conference, and the [[IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games]] in 2010.<br />
<br />
It continues to provide institutional support to the [[Peer review|peer-reviewed]] journal ''Game Studies'', which launched in 2001 (the editor-in-chief, [[Espen Aarseth]], is former head of the Center<ref>{{Cite web |last=W |first=Christian |date=2017-04-05 |title=The Copenhagen Post |url=https://cphpost.dk/www.cphpost.dk |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=CPH Post Online |language=}}</ref> and current Professor at the ITU<ref>{{Cite web |last=Greve |first=Morten |date=2017-04-04 |title=Ny professor i computerspil: Spil er ikke bare spil |url=https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/viden/tech/ny-professor-i-computerspil-spil-er-ikke-bare-spil |access-date=2022-09-27 |website=DR |language=Danish}}</ref>).<br />

The Center played a significant role for a number of important [[game studies]] scholars and designers. In addition to being the intellectual home for the university's Masters Program in Gaming, the Center has produced a number of PhD's over the years including scholars who have gone on to do major work in the field (see below).<br />
