RESEARCH AND INITIATIVES
With a two-pronged approach of conducting research and developing practical solutions, AnyKey aims to foster respectful, enjoyable, and harassment-free gaming experiences for everyone regardless of sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disability, physical appearance, body size, age, or religion. Check out the organization’s first white papers here.
Among the first of the organization's initiatives, AnyKey supported the Intel Challenge Katowice, a professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament for women with a prize pool of US$30,000. They also debuted the AnyKey lounge at Intel Extreme Masters Katowice 2016, providing a welcoming space for conversation, networking, and information exchange.
