Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming (CERG)

Research

Overview

The Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming (CERG) is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research institute at the University of Gibraltar that aims to study the etiological factors of addictive disorders and contribute to their effective prevention and treatment. From a basic research perspective, the CERG strives to be sensitive to the identification of new challenges emerging in modern societies, as well as reflective in handling these problems. While having a wider interest in understanding the mechanisms of the development and maintenance of addiction processes, the CERG is specifically focused on the study of gambling behaviour. In addition to basic and applied research efforts, the CERG also initiates and contributes to the development of educational programmes, training, and interventions that aim to reduce harm related to gambling.
