The event, which takes place in the Cinecittà studios, was born with the aim of making known not only the playful side commercial and commercial use of video games, but also their use for learning in various fields: health, scientific dissemination, education, cultural heritage and more.

Particular attention will be paid to the environment and climate change. What about video games? Some will be launched exclusively and will be explored as a tool to grow knowledge and reach new audiences, with great scientific rigor but also with a great ability to communicate, to excite and entertain in a never banal way.
