The Universitat Jaume I (UJI) has created the **[HaveFun channel in the social network Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpZSlumMAw_-qaG_vC_zzN7BU7agVCJRf)** with the aim of innovating the diffusion of science from academic institutions of higher education by incorporating the culture of video games. This initiative has been promoted by the Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i) of the Communication and Publications Service and has received funding from the [Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT)](https://www.fecyt.es/) of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.

The HaveFun playlist on the Youtube profile of the UJI is one of several actions planned to encourage innovation in the dissemination of scientific content within the project "**[Have Fun (HF): Youtube and video game culture in transmedia scientific communication](https://www.uji.es/serveis/scp/ucc/projectes/have_fun/)**". More than thirty videos integrate the first proposal of the HaveFun channel, some materials that have also been revitalised in the social networks Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. The elaboration and edition of this innovative audiovisual transmedia material has also had the support of LabCom, the Department of Communication Sciences, lecturers from the Bachelor’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication and Bachelor's Degree in Video Game Design and Development, and the Vice-rectorate for Research and Transfer.

For more than a year, the Have Fun (HF) project has been funded by the FECYT in the 2017 call for grants for the promotion of scientific, technological and innovation culture. This project has enabled the development of several activities linked to the communication of the results of UJI research to citizens through conventional and digital channels and the promotion of innovative dissemination tools. In fact, this project has promoted youtuber and video games culture to explore in new languages in order to disseminate science while opening dialogues with different audiences.

Among the actions carried out, not only the Have Fun channel on Youtube stands out, but also the collaboration of the UCC+i with the Oculus Festival, organised by the Bachelor’s Degree in Audiovisual Communication and the Bachelor's Degree in Video Game Design and Development. Among others, one of the milestones of this international competition for photography, short films and video games has been the consolidation of an award to recognise the commitment to the scientific dissemination of the works presented, with the support of the Vice-rectorate for Research and Transfer.

The project "Have Fun (HF): Youtube and video game culture in transmedia scientific communication" has promoted carrying out interviews via Twitter with women scientists from the UJI in the field of health, on 8 March. It has also promoted the organisation of interviews with scientists through the Facebook Live format, in collaboration with the Mediterráneo newspaper, on current issues such as video games, climate change and agriculture or Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the initiative collaborated with the celebration of Science Week, together with the project “Conecta con la Ciencia”, and the Firujiciència fair, among others.

FECYT's support for Have Fun has also made it possible to maintain the UJI's Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i), which, since 2011, has been promoting the dissemination of the research results of the UJI's research groups through press releases, videos, interviews on VoxUJI Radio's programme Una ventana a la ciencia or the Vocabulario Científico programme. In addition, all the contents are distributed through the social networks of the UJI.
