This conference serves as a pre-conference to GeNeMe 2025 (Gemeinschaften in Neuen Medien — Center for Open Digital Innovation and Participation (CODIP) — TU Dresden), the renowned conference series “Gemeinschaften in Neuen Medien”, which has been bringing together experts from fields such as computer science, data science, media technology, education, business, and social sciences for over 25 years. Following our event, GeNeMe 2025 will continue the discussions on online communities and digital collaboration across disciplines.

Join us as we present the key results of the project, discuss insights from our international cooperation, and explore the future of gamification in education. The conference will bring together educators, students, and professionals from across Europe for an inspiring exchange of ideas and experiences.

This Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme is primarily aimed at students in their final year of studies (EQF Level 5 or 6), who may be interested in pursuing a top-up or second degree in Media and Communication at Thomas More in 2026-2027.

More details will follow and registration will open in May 2025. 

In recent years, global trade and cross-border transactions have increased steadily. This trend has also resulted in a surge in international commercial disputes.  The International Chamber of Commerce, for example, has reported a record number of cases before its International Court of Arbitration.

These developments illustrate the growing reliance on international arbitration and ADR as the preferred method for resolving cross border disputes.

    The teams that play the BLG do not represent their University but players/students are mixed so that each group/team is composed of students who study at different institutions and speak a different mother tongue.

    The assignment of the BLG is in English, so the game will be played in English.  This means that the assignment and the final documents must be written in English and the common language for communication is also English.  Note that if players use their mother tongue during the game,  penalties will be taken into account!
