Assistant Professorship of Information Systems (Gamification) – endowed by adidas
The research group “Gamification & Digital Customer Engagement” focuses the increasing penetration of technology, business and everyday life with games, game design elements and emerging phenomena from the (video) gaming industry, such as virtual & augmented realities, virtual goods, eSports or serious games.
