Innovative and pioneering project in Portugal that brings together two institutions with a strong tradition in game development and in the areas of innovation, technology and creativity.
Nowadays, Digital Games have roles that transcend the playful and entertainment aspects and have been gaining increasing relevance in society. Digital game-based solutions are today fundamental working tools in simulation and training, and used in areas as diverse as the economy, environmental protection and health.
The great evolution in the use of Artificial Intelligence in digital games has transformed them into complex simulation systems, ideal for strategic analysis at the level of environmental, financial and even political ecosystems. At the same time, the constant search for ultra-realistic graphics has been expanding the horizons of Computer Graphics more and more.
The PhD in Digital Game Development offered by IADE - Faculdade de Design, Tecnologias e Comunicação da Universidade Europeia in association with IPCA - Instituto Politécnico do Cávado e Ave is an innovative project, pioneer in Portugal which brings together two institutions with a strong tradition in game development and in the areas of innovation, technology and creativity.
