Call for contributions for the conference “Animation in Business/Business in Animation” on IP, partnerships and discoverability in animation (20–22 Sept 2026, Syros). Submit your abstract by 4 May 2026.
On 29–30 April, ANIMA MUNDI launches its first IP-Thlon in Udine, bringing together experts to explore IP protection, licensing and market access strategies for European animation, with a focus on expanding into key Asian markets.
On 19 March 2026, ANIMA MUNDI will take part in FILMART Hong Kong, one of Asia’s leading film and television markets, with a dedicated session exploring opportunities for European animation in Asian markets.
Taking place during the inaugural edition of the EFM Animation Days – the European Film Market’s new platform dedicated exclusively to animation during the Berlinale - the workshop will underscore the growing recognition of animation as a central pillar of Europe’s audiovisual ecosystem.
The ANIMA MUNDI team will take part in ANIMAR Barcelona from 1 to 3 December 2025, the leading think tank for the European animation industry. This fourth edition brings together key professionals, institutions, and stakeholders to discuss shared policy priorities and strengthen collaboration across the sector.
The European Union (EU) faces a confluence of economic, geopolitical, technological, and environmental challenges. In this context, why should policymakers pay attention to the cultural and audio-visual sector and to international cultural relations – the EU’s approach to cultural diplomacy? What is unique about their potential contribution to addressing the challenges facing the European Union – both internally and as a global actor? Is the construction of bridges between these policy fields and broader EU debates more likely to be a boost or a burden? This seminar will discuss these questions.
ANIMA MUNDI consortium organises set-the-stage workshops in June and in September 2025.
This event took place in Brussels, at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) under the coordination of ULiège.
