Shaping the Future through Simulation and Gaming: 56th International Simulation and Gaming Association Conference

The 56th International Simulation and Gaming Association (ISAGA) Conference, held in Stuttgart in July 2025, served as a global forum for exploring the intersection of simulation, gaming, and complex societal challenges.

• Simulation and gaming are increasingly recognized as essential tools for addressing complex societal challenges, provided they are designed as transparent, evidence-informed frameworks rather than absolute truths.
• Effective simulation design requires a 'multilogue' approach, prioritizing collaborative inquiry and critical reflection among diverse stakeholders to mitigate risks of bias and misinformation.
• Simulation-based learning is proven to enhance understanding of complex systems, including municipal care services, climate change mitigation, and health insurance economics.
