The AUEA aims to provide a centralised collaborative forum for universities to engage in the the promotion of esports at all levels of competition. In doing so, the AUEA will host events, support grass-roots events, facilitate collaborations and provide funding for the furthering of university esports nationally.
At the Australian University Esports Association (AUEA), we firmly believe that control of university esports should be in the hands of the universities themselves. We recognize that universities know their students best, understand their unique cultures, and are perfectly placed to foster an esports environment that aligns with their specific goals and needs.
Our role is not to control, but rather to empower. We provide the tools, resources, and support universities need to cultivate their own vibrant esports communities. From event organization and management to funding and collaborations, we equip universities with what they need to independently drive their esports initiatives forward.
Our aim is to ensure that esports serves as an enriching element of the university experience, contributing to personal development, academic success, and overall student satisfaction. We champion a model of esports that aligns with educational values and objectives, putting the interests of students at the forefront.
The AUEA is designed for universities seeking to establish, expand, or enhance their esports programs, providing the necessary resources and a supportive community.
We serve university esports clubs, offering a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and networking within the Australian university esports ecosystem.
AUEA aims to create a vibrant, inclusive, and competitive esports environment for students, fostering personal development, academic success, and a sense of community.
The association also serves as a bridge between universities and game developers/publishers, facilitating partnerships that mutually benefit the esports industry and academia.
The AUEA is a gateway for industry partners and sponsors seeking to engage with and support the emerging talent within Australia’s university esports scene.
We provide resources for educators and parents to better understand esports, its benefits, and how they can support students participating in esports.
