The department of Game Design at Uppsala University, campus Gotland
We use our ever-growing network to lure speakers from the game- & movie industry, academia and independent scene to the island. Unfortunately we’re very poor with keeping this category up to date; including the Gotland Game Conference we average 1 guest lecture every 14th day! Some of these are recorded – check the youtube channel. If you wish to speak with Sweden’s strongest game design students (or their staff), contact Ulf!
Alumni Peter Stråhle visits us to talk about art fundamentals, share some tricks of the trade and to talk about what it’s like, working at GRIN.
The lecture is primarily for GAME graphics students, but everyone is welcome while the seats lasts.
Time: Thursday, December 18, 13:00 – 17:00
Location: HGO, B51
