With the first ERN conference coming up we are on a roll with health and well-being topics podcasts. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Apple, Deezer, Google or Stitcher or watch it on Youtube . Episode 29 features Michael Trotter who is finalising his PhD at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane Australia. He discuss his research with Brian McCauley into the health and psychological determinants of success in esports. He is also the co-founder of Australia’s first university integrated esports program. A program founded on customer experience and community development. Michael has driven the esports program to form strong connections between seemingly unrelated university groups and developed strong relationships with industry leading companies for the benefits of both students and researchers at QUT.
