Games Meet the Future of Leadership and LearningFrom play to purpose
Play is not just entertainment; it’s a laboratory for human growth.
This talk invites the audience to see how the worlds of gaming and professional life overlap, showing how players develop resilience, teamwork, and strategic thinking through games.
Understanding this connection helps educators, leaders, and institutions prepare for the next generation of learners and professionals.
Tobias Michael Scholz, Associate Professor at the University of Agder, is a pioneer in esports research with 25 years of experience.
As the founder of the Esports Research Network and scientific director of metagame, Scholz builds bridges between academia and industry. In Norway he focuses on developing innovative study programmes that use esports to teach the skills needed by the workforce of the future. Scholz, who belongs to the first generation of esports researchers and is also called the “godfather of esports research,” continues to shape the field by combining academic rigor with practical industry insight.
Apotekergaarden , with its historic charm and welcoming atmosphere, is the perfect place to bring people together for an evening of learning and conversation. We encourage everyone interested to save the date.
The evening’s mentor and moderator for the debate is Astrid Stifoss-Hanssen from the University of Agder.
