CoSTAR National Lab Workshop: AI & The Future of Animation

CoSTAR is hosting a hands-on workshop for UK animation SMEs curious about where AI is heading — and how it might actually be useful to them.

Date: Wednesday 15 July 2026, 09:30 – 17:00
Location: Futures Studio, Royal Holloway, University of London
Deadline to apply: 24 June 2026 at 23:59

The day is aimed at UK-based creative, production or tech-focused SMEs working in animation. You don’t need to be an AI specialist — some prior R&D curiosity helps, but it’s not required. Up to two people per company can request a spot, though spaces are limited and selection is based on strategic fit.

Attendees will be notified of the outcome by Friday 3 July, so hold off booking travel until you hear back.

The workshop is part of CoSTAR’s AI for Creativity initiative, run through the CoSTAR National Lab.

Applications close soon — 24 June.
