Since the creation of the eGames Lab – the largest R&D project in Madeira and one of the largest in the country – our team has faced many challenges and pushed the limits to implement the seeds of a new beginning, creating new talent, providing opportunities, attracting talent and crafting new research projects in a unique multidisciplinary approach, in a country-wide research ecosystem.

From Madeira to Évora, Lisbon and the Azores, the eGames Lab was able to open and fulfill new R&D positions, more than 50. From post-doctoral to doctoral and masters students, those positions cover areas such as informatics, psychology,design, narrative and physical sciences.
The challenge is made even bigger by working side-by-side with industry leaders within the videogame development scene, in Portugal.
The recognition is immense.
