We are pleased to announce the 1st International Electronic Conference on Games (IECGA 2025), which will occur virtually over two days, from 15 to 16 October 2025.
This conference will focus on the following four sessions:
1. Algorithmic, Computational and Applied Game Theory
2. Behavioral, Experimental, and Cooperative Game Theory and Bargaining
3. Learning, Evolution, Market Design and Auctions
4. Non-Cooperative and General Game Theory
The 1st International Electronic Conference on Games is sponsored by MDPI and the journal Games (ISSN 2073-4336, Impact Factor: 0.5). Games is a scholarly, peer-reviewed, open access journal of studies on game theory and its applications published bimonthly online by MDPI.
This event will be held online fully, allowing participants from all over the world to participate without concerns on travel and related expenditures. This conference format is particularly appropriate and useful because research concerned with games is progressing rapidly. An electronic conference provides a platform for rapid and direct exchanges about the latest research findings and novel ideas.
Participation, as well as the "attendance" of this online conference, is free. Participants will have the opportunity to examine, explore and critically engage with issues and advances in these areas. We hope to facilitate discussions and exchange within the community.
Accepted abstracts will be published in the Proceedings Journal (ISSN: 2504-3900, Impact Factor: 0.5). Outstanding contributions from each session will have the chance to be selected for oral presentations and may be eligible for conference awards.
We hope the community will share in this enthusiasm and help make the 1st International Electronic Conference on Games, a success!

Meet Our Speakers
Assoc. Prof. Cheong Kang Hao
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore;
Dr. Cheong received his B.Sc. (Hons) in Applied Mathematics from the National
University of Singapore, where he was recognized as a University Scholar, followed
by a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the National Institute of Education and
a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from NUS. He served as an Assistant
Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design from 2019 until
October 2023, where he received the SUTD Annual Excellence in Teaching Award in
2022. He is currently an Associate Professor at NTU, where his interdisciplinary work
spans theoretical and computational science.
Dr. Cheong’s research focuses on the interdisciplinary applications of mathematical
sciences to understand complex systems dynamics. His notable work on Parrondo’s
games illustrates how strategies that appear disadvantageous can yield beneficial
outcomes across various domains. Using techniques from stochastic processes,
statistical analysis, and computational simulations, he investigates counterintuitive
behaviors in physical, social, biological, and computing systems. In addition to his core
research, his interests extend to the application of artificial intelligence in medical,
healthcare, and educational domains. He has also published in PNAS, PRL, Nature
Communications, Advanced Materials, IEEE TEVC, IEEE TCYB, IEEE TSMC, IEEE
TFS, and TNNLS. He serves on the editorial boards of several reputable journals
including IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering, Journal of
Computational Science, Innovation and Emerging Technologies, Computers in Biology
and Medicine, Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Contemporary
Mathematics and Games.
Prof. Vincent Crawford
University of Oxford, UK, University of California, San Diego, USA;
Prof. Vincent Crawford is the Drummond Professor of Political Economy Emeritus; an Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College; and Distinguished Professor Emeritus and Research Professor, University of California, San Diego. He holds an A.B. Summa cum Laude from Princeton University and a Ph.D. in Economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, the Guggenheim Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the British Academy, and Academia Europea; and he has held research grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation and the European Research Council. He has served as co-editor of the American Economic Review and of Games and Economic Behavior, and on the editorial boards of Econometrica, the Journal of Economic Literature, and several other journals. He is currently a co-editor of the Journal of Mechanism and Institution Design. He is known for his work on game-theoretic microeconomic theory, particularly bargaining and arbitration, strategic communication, matching markets, learning, and coordination. His current research is on behavioral and experimental game theory and behavioral economics more generally.
Dr. Jie Zheng
Center for Economic Research, Shandong University, Jinan, China;
Jie Zheng is University Distinguished Professor at Shandong University, and he serves as the Director for the Center for Research on Experimental and Theoretical Economics (CREATE). He is recognized as Distinguished Expert of “Taishan Scholar” Project, and has received the “Changjiang Scholar Award” from Ministry of Education of the Chinese Government. Dr. Zheng received his B.A and M.A. in Economics from Tsinghua University, and Ph.D. in Economics from Washington University in St. Louis. He is an Associate Editor for Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and a co-director of China Behavioral and Experimental Economics Forum. He has guest edited various special issues on games and economic behaviour for several journals. His main research fields are information economics, industrial economics, experimental economics and behavioral economics. He has published over 60 research papers in journals including Nature Communications, American Economic Review (Papers and Proceedings), Games and Economic Behavior, Management Science, Journal of Industrial Economics, Journal of Mathematical Economics, Experimental Economics, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, as well as top Chinese journals.
