The main objective of the project Gaming Clusters Across Multiple European Regions (GAME-ER) is to research how video games clusters emerge, develop and sustain themselves, with particular focus on local and regional clusters. Based on this research, GAME ER will formulate a series of policy and practical recommendations which will compose an Interactive Methodological Toolkit. These recommendations are aimed especially at local and national policy and decision-makers, with the intent to help them bootstrap Cultural and Creative Industries clusters, or strengthen existing clusters in their regions or cities. Much of existing research on video game clusters concentrate on clusters outside Europe, or on European clusters in capital or large metropolitan cities (such as Helsinki or Hamburg). However local and regional clusters also are key drivers of innovation, growth and cohesion and GAME-ER will fill the gap around the limited knowledge we have about them. To achieve its ambitious objective GAME-ER a core component will be a comparative analysis of six local and regional clusters in five European countries, which include France, the Czech Republic, Italy, Scotland and Portugal. These clusters have been selected because of their different levels of maturity, and their specificities such as the concentration of human creativity or companies. Moreover GAME-ER will conduct a Europe wide analysis of the spatial organization of the European video games industry/ecosystem, with focus on local and regional clusters. Through this research the project will formulate policy and practical recommendations using a participatory approach and working with policy makers and the industry. The project is organised in six Work Packages, with 3 dedicated to research clusters and one focusing on building the project Toolkit. The project includes 16 partners from 9 countries, with expertise in social sciences and humanities, policy making, the third-sector, business and innovation.

欧洲多个地区的游戏集群（GAME-ER）项目的主要目标是研究视频游戏集群如何出现，发展和维持自己，特别关注地方和区域集群。在此研究的基础上，GAME ER将制定一系列政策和实践建议，这些建议将构成一个互动方法工具包。这些建议特别针对地方和国家政策制定者和决策者，旨在帮助他们引导文化和创意产业集群，或加强其地区或城市的现有集群。现有的关于电子游戏集群的研究大多集中在欧洲以外的集群，或者集中在首都或大都市（如赫尔辛基或汉堡）的欧洲集群。然而，地方和区域集群也是创新、增长和凝聚力的关键驱动力，GAME-ER将填补我们对它们的有限知识的差距。为了实现其雄心勃勃的目标，GAME-ER的一个核心组成部分将是对五个欧洲国家的六个地方和区域集群进行比较分析，这五个国家包括法国、捷克共和国、意大利、苏格兰和葡萄牙。之所以选择这些集群，是因为它们的成熟程度不同，以及它们的特殊性，如人类创造力或公司的集中。此外，GAME-ER将对欧洲视频游戏产业/生态系统的空间组织进行全欧洲范围的分析，重点关注地方和区域集群。通过这项研究，该项目将采用参与性方法，与决策者和业界合作，制定政策和实际建议。该项目分为六个工作包，其中三个专门用于研究集群，一个侧重于构建项目工具包。该项目包括来自9个国家的16个合作伙伴，他们在社会科学和人文、政策制定、第三部门、商业和创新方面拥有专业知识。
