Over the past four years, academics from DkIT and the University of Lodz have worked closely together. Staff members from each college have delivered lecturers in each other’s colleges. DkIT is currently working with the University of Lodz and other European partners on a trans-national project that gets students to work in multinational, multidisciplinary teams with the aim of creating serious mobile games. Over the past four years over 50 students from the “BSc (Honours) in Computing in Games Development” have travelled to continental Europe to take part in this project. Together with the University of Lodz and other European partners, DkIT is continuing to work to secure European research funding.
