Current collaborations

We are a co-Investigator on the Refiguring Innovation in Games project: An international 5-year project funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Partnership Grant, led by York University, Canada. This involves working in collaboration with the University of Southern California, USA on a Women in Transmedia project, which feeds into the main industry stream of the ReFig project.

A project currently in development is the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Networks (ITN) application (EU H2020): Led by Tallinn University, Estonia around transmedial uses of digital heritage. In addition to CMCI/King's, the other partners are IT University of Copenhagen, Polytechnic University of Milan, Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Jyväskylä University in Finland and Malmö University in Sweden.
