What is it?
Originally developed by the Erasmus University Rotterdam, this interactive game opens up a debate on academic and research issues commonly faced by students and researchers. The aim is not to find a single definitive solution for every dilemma, but to create a safe space where tricky situations and potential problems may be openly discussed with others.
The sessions are open to anyone interested in “playing with integrity,” whether they are a student, PhD candidate, researcher, or lecturer. A single session of the game usually takes 2–3 hours and includes detailed discussion in smaller groups and a more general, self-reflective joint session at the end.
Would you like to play?
Subscribe to our Newsletter for Early-Career Researchers. You will receive updates about the next Dilemma Game and the registration link for the next session, to be held at the Alexandria Lounge in the NTK building.
