Responsible Esports – How Digital Competition Can Be Healthy, Fair, and Future-Ready

Esports captivates millions, shapes youth culture, and is growing at breakneck speed – yet many of its structures still lag behind. Questions around health, equality of opportunity, and recognition as an official sport remain open.

•  How can we design esports in a way that supports both physical and mental health?
• What structures are missing for esports to gain official recognition in Germany?
• And how can we create more fairness and diversity in digital competition – through initiatives like Equal Esports, for example?

We’ll explore the challenges and opportunities of professional gaming, highlight best practices, and discuss what it takes for esports to be taken seriously in society, sport, and health contexts.
