The research network is delighted to launch in the same year, 2020 as the 30th anniversary of the animation programme at ECA. We have a long heritage and proud alumni of award winning filmmakers. We are collectively interested in promoting animation in terms of researching it under an animation studies heading but including areas of heritage, genre, national identity, technology and pedagogy. We will be forging existing partnerships and will be looking to develop new ones in support of collaborative research, but also in wider promotion of animation as one of Scotland’s vital creative industries.
