i-GAME

HORIZON Project

MuseoSpace is proud to be a partner of the i-Game project, a European research project funded by the EU’s Horizon Europe Programme.

The overall aim of the i-Game project is to create an accessible open-source game development platform that will facilitate the co-creation of games by diverse actors within different ecosystems of cultural and creative sectors and industries (CCSI), to enhance innovation and to bring a positive impact on social cohesion and sustainability. 

More specifically, i-Game aspires: 1) To engage digital game stakeholders of different abilities, expertise, and disciplines, to contribute, learn, share and tap into new innovative and economic opportunities; 2) To provide a collaborative platform with the tools to co-create digital games by engaging different users, from different backgrounds and sectors; 3) To develop an ethical-design culture in the video game industry; 4) To monitor, assess and manage the impact that the video games have on different sectors, especially targeting culture/museums, creative industries and fashion/ textile; 5) To help understand why and how are online games positively impacting people, culture and society and help extract the ingredients necessary for developing a new generation of games targeted to improve people’s well-being. 

The i-Game partnership, composed of organisations with diversified backgrounds and expertise, reassures the interdisciplinary approach required to address the complex topic of the games’ impact on innovation, sustainability, social cohesion, and economic growth. This multi-sectoral and inclusive cooperation shall stimulate innovative and productive work and inspire cross-fertilisation across perspectives, disciplines, and countries, under common European values

MuseoSpace leads the pilot work package, coordinating the project’s pilot implementation across Europe to test the platform, including the shared digital repository, comprehensive toolkit, and training materials. In parallel, it fosters community engagement across sectors, borders, and areas of interest to strengthen collaboration and knowledge exchange.

Project Total Budget: € 3.999.122,00

Duration: 36 months (February 2024 – January 2027)
