World Conference of the Game Theory Society in 2016 in Maastricht
A team of researchers from the departments of Economics and Quantitative Economics from the School of Business and Economics and from research group Networks and Strategic Optimization from the Department of Knowledge Engineering from the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences has succesfully organized GAMES 2016, the prestigious World Congress on Game Theory in Maastricht 2016. These world conferences are held once every 4 years. Earlier editions took place in Bilbao (2000), Marseille (2004), Evanston (2008) and Istanbul (2012).
Game Theory, which is centered around mathematical models of conflict and competition, plays an increasingly important role in many branches of science, like for example economics, biology, computer science, psychology, political science and law. This wide applicability will also show in the 2016 conference in Maastricht. The societal relevance of Game Theory is illustrated by awarding game theorists the Nobel Prize in Economics on several occasions, such as in 2012 to Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth.
The 2016 World Congress was held in parallel with EC’16, the 17-th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation, upon initiative of the local organizing team. In total we had a total of close to 900 participants with over 700 presentations in just 5 days.
