Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming

The Centre of Excellence in Responsible Gaming (CERG) is a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research institute that aims to study the etiological factors of addictive disorders and contribute to their effective prevention and treatment.

The CERG’s goal is to gain a deeper understanding of gambling behaviour and addiction processes through research, and contribute to evidence-based safer gambling interventions.
