IEETA contributed to the organization of the local edition of the Global Game Jam at the Universidade de Aveiro (UA), held from 30 January to 1 February 2026. Bringing together more than 40 students from UA and across the country, the 48-hour non-stop challenge resulted in 10 original game projects, developed under this year’s theme “Masks.”
The event was organized by students and faculty of the Master’s in Digital Game Development (DETI and DeCA), with the involvement of researchers from IEETA, DigiMedia and Instituto de Telecomunicações.
All games developed during the event are freely available online: https://globalgamejam.org/jam-sites/2026/ggj-2026-universidade-de-aveiro
