Simulations and games surround us more and more. In the past we used real life and expensive training programs to prepare us for all scenario's. Today we use simulations. In the medical scene electronic simulations are used to train surgical procedures, the airforce uses simulations to learn how to fly and educational programmes use simulations to prepare business students with serious games. The research tracks can be found on the Research > Tracks page.
Study tour pixel will research the possibilities, social influence and much more related to one of the six research tracks. All tracks are related to the field of simulation and gaming technology and can be found in the research section of this site.

On December 7th an information gathering was held in EduCafé Zilverling (café Abscint). A nice number of interested student listened to the presentation about what study tours are about, why they are so interesting and what we expect from participants. At the end of the gathering multiple students said that they were interested in participating in the educational international study tour.
The PowerPoint slides can be downloaded. If you have any question, you can contact the committee via e-mail, twitter or phone. The committee members will also often be present in the Inter-Actief ...
