the role of games and

interactive entertainment in society

4/5 April 2019

one birdcage walk

The 5th edition of MTJG is dedicated to the role that games and interactive entertainment play in society and their profound impact on human interactions and in our democracy.  Leading international academics, practitioners, in-house counsels and industry experts will engage in dialogues regarding the most crucial legal features of the social contract of the modern Homo Ludens and address the fundamental question of how the rules of the games and the legal structures of the ‘real world’ interact with one another. Our deeper theme will be how we can use our experiences as video game scholars and lawyers in understanding the intensive gamification of modern society, and to help create better societies.
