Research is one of the key pillars of the International Center for Gaming Regulation. The Center facilitates independent, nonpartisan, evidence-based research on issues that cover the wide-ranging topics surrounding regulated gaming.
We encourage scholarship in gaming regulation through fellowships targeting key areas. Two Executive Fellows from industry/regulation, and two Academic Fellows will research best practices in areas such as gaming policy, gaming law, licensing, compliance, and/or gaming operations.
Invitation For Research Topic Submissions
We wish to invite interested parties (eg. regulators, gaming operators, gaming suppliers and the public) to suggest research topics in which to guide prospective fellowship applicants with regard to topical areas for research. Please view the pdf for additional details.
Call for Research Fellows
The Center is offering 6-month fellowships to support impactful research on important gaming regulatory issues. These fellowships will be awarded on a competitive basis via a peer review process. Submission dates for 2017-2018 will be announced soon.
