Robert Nyberg has been the human resources manager at Starbreeze Studios for the past four years. As such, he’s the guy with final say in all recruitments and staff policies.

Robert will do two talks in succession, the first one on practical advice for how to get a job in the gaming industry. The second one will be about quality assurance in the Starbreeze production pipeline; what happens when an error is discovered and how is it remedied during production?

Some of the 21st century´s greatest challenges are reflected in Turkey – EU relations; the widening gap between the West and the Muslim world and the struggle for human rights and democratization. Will Turkey become EU´s bridge or barrier to Islam? Which human rights issues might become a road block to Turkish EU?

Ann Dismorr, current head of the International Department of the Riksdag, has been a Swedish diplomat since 1981 and a ambassador since 1999. As such she’s served in Turkey, Azerbaijan and Libanon.

The title of her talk (the final one in Human Rights and Diversity in Serious Game) is “Turkey Decoded; The European Union and Islam.”

Time: Monday, Oktober 26 13.00-15.00
Location: HGO, lecture hall E31
