"Dutch games have often been praised for their quality, creativity and innovation, and justly so."
Rafael Bidarra - Division Manager Research
Rafael Bidarra is our Division Manager Research. He leads TU Delft's game technology research lab, and supervises numerous MSc and PhD projects in this area. He also teaches and supervises several courses and projects on video games, including the pioneer (MSc) project Building Serious Games.
Rafael Bidarra: “Dutch games have often been praised for their quality, creativity and innovation, and justly so. To sharpen this competitive edge at all levels (conceptual, technological, experimental, etc.), the synergy between game studios and researchers can be instrumental.
In my role, I focus on creating opportunities to facilitate and promote a healthy collaboration between studios and research institutions. This includes e.g.:
- Enabling game studios to find or apply state-of-the-art knowledge developed by researchers;
- Enabling students and researchers to find and approach challenging problems currently faced by game developers."
