Wall of Fame - Faces of the or­gan­isa­tion

The GamesLab was founded by students. It is only thanks to the commitment of the various generations of organisers that GamesLab has managed to survive and continue to exist for 15 years.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all previous organising generations for their commitment, time and achievements! Thanks to your perseverance and the inherited idea that developing art and culture together is relevant, GamesLab can be what it is today. All these names are part of the GamesLab story.

Past GamesLab Orga gen­er­a­tions

There are many more faces behind the GamesLab. As the organisation spans different generations of students and the GamesLab has already had to overcome a few hurdles, we have not yet been able to list all the former organisers here. We would like to thank all the Orga generations for their hard work and hope to see you here in the Wall of Fame again soon!
