The Behaviour Interactive Research Chair in Game Design is funded by a 2M$ gift from the Montreal-based industry leader and is hosted in Concordia University’s Faculty of Fine Arts. Its mandate is to:

• Carry out research and supervise graduate and undergraduate students in the study of game design and its related activities.
• Support students from communities underrepresented in the digital game industry.
• Foster links between academic research and industry in the field of games.

The chair is currently held by Jonathan Lessard.

Its main means of action are scholarships and events.
