Esports Research Network 

The ERN is an international and interdisciplinary association of esports researchers and was initiated by academics from Jönköping, Tampere and Siegen. The aim is to connect researchers from all over the world and thus enable collaborations so that the research field of esports can be developed in a thorough and interdisciplinary way. In its current form, esports is a novel phenomenon made possible by digitization and thus represents an intriguing and relevant case study for the digitized world. Topics in esports can therefore provide a glimpse into the future challenges of a digital society. The research results in esports thus can help to advance society in other areas as well.
