These world conferences are held once every 4 years. Earlier editions took place in Bilbao (2000), Marseille (2004), Evanston (2008) and Istanbul (2012).<br \/>\nGame 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.<br \/>\nThe 2016 World Congress was held in parallel with\u00a0EC\u201916, 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.<br \/>\nFor more information on GAMES 2016 and on EC&#8217;16, please have a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.games2016.nl\/\">conference website<\/a>\u00a0or contact the local chair:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:f.thuijsman@maastrichtuniversity.nl\">f.thuijsman@maastrichtuniversity.nl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>NSO participated in organizing\u00a0the<strong><em> IJCAI Computer Games Workshop 2016<\/em><\/strong>, which was held in New York, July 2016.
