Project goal is building long-term Polish-Czech partnerships, supporting young game creators, and shaping the future of gamedev education in Europe. The project helps strengthen ties between the Polish and Czech academic communities and the video game industry.
About the Project
An international conference bringing together students, educators, and video game industry professionals from Poland and the Czech Republic, held during Student Games Festival 2026 in Warsaw. The Forum focuses on knowledge sharing, collaboration between universities and industry, and shaping the future of gamedev education in Central Europe. As the inaugural edition, it sets the stage for ongoing dialogue between two of Europe's most dynamic game development scenes and the academic communities behind them.
Polish-Czech Videogames Forum is a public task funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland under the grant competition "Polish-Czech Forum for bringing societies closer, strengthening cooperation, and building good neighbourly relations 2026".
