Educational Summit @ DADIU Days

Panel Debate: How do we educate for future tech needs?
When: Thursday October 2nd 15-17
Where: Auditorium 5 at the Royal Academy (at the corner of Fabriksmestervej and Danneskiold-Samsøse Alle, Holmen)

Three Danish game studios (Hutelihut, Flashbulb & Ghostship) will present their cases about developing multiplayer games and doing live games. Afterwards, three game educations (DTU, ITU and DADIU) will reflect on the cases and give their view on the future of Danish game educations.

The goal is to connect real game studio needs with education and student perspectives, and to ask: how do we make Denmark the best place in the world to learn and work with multiplayer games?
During each case talk, students will be invited to reflect on how the studio’s challenges match their own learning journey: Do current courses prepare you for networking expertise? Can you see yourself in live ops roles like community manager or data analyst? Does middleware use change what you feel you need to learn?

Panel:
Kristijonas Malisaukas (Hutelihut)
Martin Thomsen (Flashbulb)
Søren Lundgaard (Ghostship Games)
Camilla Lyngbo Wolden-Ræthinge (DADIU + Fight Like a Girl Games)
Andreas Bærendzen (Professor, DTU)
