Virtual production / vfx Ecosystem 

The Virtual Production and VFX Ecosystem is led by Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas) in the Netherlands. BUas was one of the first universities in Europe to establish a fully equipped Virtual Production Studio on its campus, offering open access to educators, trainers, students, and researchers. This early investment laid a strong foundation for the development of both technical and creative skills, enabling innovation and experimentation in the rapidly evolving field of virtual production.
The ecosystem is developed in close collaboration with industry partners specialising in Virtual Production, including Iron Films and Filmmore, and is further supported by associated partner Epic Games.
Within the AVENUE project, the Virtual Production Ecosystem focuses on continuously addressing emerging challenges and skill mismatches in the virtual production field. Through ongoing, practice-based research, it aims to provide relevant and immediate upskilling opportunities, foster excellence in vocational education and training, support innovation, and promote inclusion across the creative sector..
