ClimarisQ is a game conceived by the CNRS researcher Davide Faranda through the CNRS – AMCSTI – ISC-PIF scientific mediation incubator on complex systems. The development of ClimarisQ, powered by the videogame company Opal Games, has been financially supported by the University of Paris-Saclay : La Diagonale Paris-Saclay. The project has been also supported by:
- The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Evironnement (LSCE) and the Institut Pierre Simon Laplace (IPSL) are developing the scientific part of the game. LSCE provides the scientific support and the “translation” in carbon cost of the players’ choices.
- The CNRS commits to supporting ClimarisQ in outreach forums and to promoting ClimarisQ on social networks.
- The CEA supports the promotion of ClimarisQ by organizing communication activities : International Games Festival (Cannes, 2020), Forum-Weather/Climate 2020, dissemination on social networks and websites.
- Universcience, Palais de la découverte, a partner involved in the drafting and design of the project, is participating in the outreach activities of the game.
- L’Institut de la Transition Environnementale (ITE) de Sorbonne Université contributed to the development of the video game and the production of NEXUS KEY VIDEOS on climate change.
- Le London Mathematical Laboratorty (LML) a contribué au développement du jeu grâce à l’aide de Executive Support Consultants
