Gamification as the future of business education

Gamification as the Future of Business Education

On September 17, 2025, the international project Game4Change – Next Generation Entrepreneurship (G4C-NGE) invites you to its final conference in Dresden. Under the theme “GameChangers: Innovating Business Education”, experts from education, research, and industry will gather at the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Dresden to explore new approaches to game-based teaching.

The conference marks the culmination of a three-year Erasmus+ project that has explored the potential of gamification in entrepreneurial higher education. Key project outcomes – including a European joint study programme on entrepreneurial thinking, a methodology for integrating game-based elements into university teaching, and a digital toolkit for educators – will be presented and discussed.

Alongside these presentations, participants can look forward to interactive workshops, practical sessions, and inspiring keynotes introducing innovative ways in which playful learning can foster entrepreneurial skills. The event also offers space for networking, exchange, and the development of new project ideas.

Organised by the CIDS Department CODIP – Center for Open Digital Innovation and Participation, the conference is delivered in cooperation with international project partners from seven countries:

• DOBA Business School (Slovenia)
• Rotterdam Business School, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands)
• Businet (Belgium)
