We invite you to participate in the GameDays 2010. The GameDays, established in 2005 as annual "Science meets Business" event series, aim to provide an information and cooperation platform bringing together academia and industry and discussing latest trends, challenges and potentials of serious games. Research papers, case studies and demonstrations are invited that present novel scientific results, best practice showcases, or improvements to existing technology, methods, concepts and approaches in the multidisciplinary field of serious games, applied in a broad spectrum of application domains.

Suggested research topics include, but are not limited to:

- Theory: Scientific models, methods and concepts for game-based prevention and rehabilitation
- Game Design: Sustainable concepts and methods for cooperative and competitive application scenarios
- Technology: Interfaces, Sensors, Authoring Tools, Information and Communication, AI
