Gamified Research Translation (GREAT) Network

The Gamified Research Translation (GREAT) Network is a forum for faculty, specialists and practitioners to develop collective thought leadership on game-based tools and gamification as the means of research translation to achieve societal impact.

In its most basic form, business research translation with gamification involves multi-disciplinary tasks of taking research findings, human psychology and technology of game-design, and applying them to business contexts to achieve impact through change in behavior, cognition or emotional states.

The GREAT Network aims to:

  • Increase awareness and knowledge on gamification of business research
  • Encourage researcher-industry integration to solve business challenges through games
  • Foster and deploy a cross-disciplinary network of GREAT experts, specialists and enthusiasts.
