Forskningsomrade Kultur som forandringskraft

Borderless Game Academy

About the project

The project aims to combine the core expertise of Swedish game development with Finnish entrepreneurial skills in the creative industries and Finnish higher education curricula. By developing methods for cross-border educational cooperation the aim is to create a new, unique cross-border educational product that both attracts students to the programme area and reduces the risk of brain drain of creative talents from it.

Project goal

The overall objective of the project is to address the shortage of skilled professionals in the gaming industry in the Interreg Aurora programme area through the development of a unique cross-border higher education product.
