EMPAMOS stands for the empirical analysis of motivational game elements (EMPirische Analyse MOtivierender Spielelemente); it is a research project at the tech-university of Nuremberg looking at the motivational elements in games and how to use them in non-gaming-environments. 

On 24 November 2023, as part of our work in the Motivation Research Team, Oliver Klee and I traveled to Nuremberg to attend the annual EMPAMOS barcamp and networking event. At the event, we met up with a broad range of people including IT specialists, psychologists, teachers, university professors, students, consultants, and gaming experts to connect and learn more about the current research in transferring motivational factors of games into non-gaming environments.

 Motivation Research Team lead Oliver Kelee and co-lead Sabine Schmidt visited the EMPAMOS Network Meeting in Nuremberg, Germany, 24 November 2024, as part of the Meet TYPO3 initiative. See upcoming Meet TYPO3 events.
