Annika Waern, Professor at Mobile Life, Stockholm University. 

Since 2003, Annika's research has been focussed on pervasive games, games that use technology to support play in the real world rather than on screen. Working together with game designers, media theorists, artists and technicians her research is highly multidisciplinary with a focus on design, production, evaluation and analysis of pervasive games. The work is carried out within the Mobile Life centre in collaboration between Stockholm University and the Interactive Institute.
 
Annika has long experience of research leadership from the research institutes SICS and Interactive Institute. She was the coordinator of IPerG, Integrated Project on Pervasive Games, a EU-funded project with a total budget of 10 M Euro and nine partners spread around Europe. She is on the board of DIGRA, the digital games research association, has acted as editor for international journals, and frequently participates in programme committees for scientific conferences.
