Statement of purpose
DiGRA CEE aims to support and develop the academic debate within game studies and related fields in the region of Central and Eastern Europe. The chapter’s main activity is to organize the annual Central and Eastern European Game Studies conference (CEEGS). By organizing the conference and providing other platforms of communication, the chapter will introduce game scholars working within national academic environments of Central and Eastern Europe to an international community and facilitate regional cooperation transcending national boundaries.

Geographical area
We understand the region in broad terms, including post-socialist countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the Balkans, and also Austria, Germany, Greece, and Cyprus.
