Dear Future Talent of the Creative Industries,
93 Applications, 1 Shared Goal: Shaping the Future of the Creative Industries
We’ve officially closed applications for this year’s PANEURAMA Innovation Labs, and we’re incredibly proud to share that 93 talented, motivated individuals from across Europe have signed up to take part.
Whether it’s through the Animation! Acting!! Drama!!! Lab or the NXT GEN Lab, every single applicant brought forward a spark: A strong sense of purpose, creativity, and drive to push storytelling forward within the animation, games, and VFX industries.
These labs were created to support the next generation of professionals with learning that goes beyond the classroom. And the motivation shared by this year’s applicants proves exactly why initiatives like PANEURAMA are not just valuable, they’re vital.
What happens next?
Our evaluation teams are now carefully reviewing each application, with a focus on:
- The applicant’s motivation and creative ambitions
- Their collaborative potential and team-fit
- How their profile contributes to the overall lab dynamics
Because the labs are team-based, the selection process is about more than individual skill. It’s about finding the right creative chemistry, and we’re committed to giving every application the attention it deserves.
We expect to start notifying selected participants before June 13, though that is the latest date to expect results. For NXT GEN Lab participants, there will be online activities taking place in late June and July, before the in-person labs begin in August.
A heartfelt thank-you
To all applicants: thank you for choosing to invest your time, ideas, and creative energy with us. It takes courage to apply, and even more to commit to something new and collaborative. Your passion inspires us!
To our educators, mentors, and industry partners: thank you for helping spread the word, for supporting your students and networks, and for helping make PANEURAMA a space where new voices and practices can thrive.
We’ll be in touch with all applicants directly via email – and if you’re reading this as a reminder, it’s because we know not everything always lands where it should (yes, we’re looking at you, spam folders!).
Until then, we’re excited for what’s ahead – and grateful to be building it with all of you.

Warm regards,
The PANEURAMA Team
