ANGILS is a non-profit-making organisation based in the UK, totally dependent on membership subscriptions and launched in 2003 as a network for individuals interested in application of games and other innovative 'knowledge economy and games' technologies and skills in non-games industry applications. angils is now transitioning to a full members association by offering membership to organisations in addition to individuals.

We have a number of related areas of focus: Serious Games and emerging technologies and techniques from the digital entertainment sector, applicable to a wider audience (such as virtual worlds, search and AI).

Back in 2003, the term Serious Games was not in wide circulation and meant little outside the USA. Now the team at angils and the wider community believe that the time is right to transition to a trade association to promote the Serious Games community in Europe.

If you would like to be instrumental in making angils highly effective in its mission to promote and support the Serious Games and emerging technology communities in Europe then please join us directly.
