The inclusion of game design elements for economic purposes as well as in non-gaming social processes and activities has generated considerable attention among scholars and practitioners. Designs with game elements enhance the engagement of the audience and may be applied to several aspects of life. Therefore, gamification can be considered as a tool to target a deep transformation of pro-social individual behavior.

In cooperation with Humboldt University of Berlin (Prof. Dr. Klaus Eisenack) research group DeCarbFriends at the University of Kassel organizes a one-day workshop which brings together researchers and professionals across different areas of gamification of individual behavior, especially in food, transport, energy consumption, and recycling. The workshop aims to discuss up-to-date methodologies, results, and opportunities for future research.

We are pleased to announce that Dr. Sebastian Deterding will deliver the keynote speech at the workshop. He is a senior researcher at the Digital Creativity Labs at the University of York and a leading expert within the field of gamification.
