Games Department Shown in the Organizational Chart of the Ministry of Science
The reintroduced Games Department appears for the first time in a new organizational chart from the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space. It is docked in the Strategies and Policy Issues division, which is headed by Dr. Effrosyni Chelioti and reports to State Secretary Dr. Marcus Player. The position of department head is currently still vacant.
It was the first promise Dorothee Bär made as the newly appointed Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space and head of the games industry as part of the Deutscher Computerspielpreis (DCP; German Computer Game Award): to rebuild a dedicated games department at the ministry level. Now, the new department appears for the first time in an updated organizational chart of the ministry.
