Quality Label
Certified Serious Games
To promote the quality of Serious Games, based on the knowledge gained from the development of the Serious Games Information Center and the elaboration of the Serious Games Metadata Format (SG-MDF, DIN SPEC 91380) as well as comprehensive experience based on discussions with stakeholders of the Serious Games market in the context of the technology transfer project WTT Serious Games, the socalled RAL Serious Games Gütegemeinschaft e.V. has been founded. The overall aim of that Serious Games “lobby” association is to promote the quality of serious games in general and to provide a quality label (“stamp”) for good Serious Games. The quality label offers potential users/customers valuable information about the quality of the described serious games and thus facilitates the decision whether a game should be purchased/used or not.

The Great Climate Challenge
Polar ice caps are melting, sea levels are rising, weather extremes are in the news every day – climate-related hazards are becoming more intense, longer and more frequent. Climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. But where do scientists work in the field to get the facts on climate change? And how do they gather and analyze data from the atmosphere, oceans and land?
To find out about these often neglected subjects, the user travels to four remote research stations all over the world (and space) to meet four young scientists in the field. There, many tasks have to be solved by the user to finally receive the “license to have a say in the climate debate”.
