Thanks for sharing James
I wonder are they open to working on some demonstrator projects, spin-outs or even student related work.
It might be worth approaching them folks

We post any positions that gets sent to us on our jobs list – but always good to get yourself known and start attending some of the jams and events too.

Also you might be interested in the following –
******************
Irish VFX + Animation Summit takes place next weekend, 29th & 30th November, at the Science Gallery in Dublin.
Part of our mission is to encourage the engagement between studios and future artists to nurture and grow the best VFX and Animation talent possible. Students and prospective artists need to know how best to show off their incredible work to get the best possible VFX and animation opportunities. At this year’s Summit, with the help of Shotgun Software, we’re going to facilitate that.
For the first time, we will host a Showreel Clinic – a collaboration with Shotgun Software – that will give artists the opportunity to submit their work and get it in front of our speakers or a senior artist from an Irish studio to get the critical 1-on-1 feedback you need to make the best showreel possible.
On Saturday, 29th November and Sunday, 30th November we’ll have a dedicated location in The Science Gallery where you can have your own dailies session, where we’ll use Shotgun to track submissions and reviewer feedback and make sure that all that review feedback goes straight back to you.
Send your showreel to showreel@vfxsummit.com, and we’ll take it from there.
Students are entitled to a significant discount on summit tickets on our website http://www.vfxsummit.com
I will be interested to see what others say but I would think fairly limited. Maybe a business when combined with the animation and other industries..
I know that this is also done in TCD – at least it is available to students and staff there.

Just a quick update here.
This week we are working on design, speed and forum password resets.
Ongoing then are updates of educational courses, companies and profiles.
You can send in events, news and ideas..there is a submit link on the top menu and on each section/page.
Finally, if you have a few design skills it would be great to get someone to reskin our social media accounts.
It is a bit bumpy and we are not pushing ourselves out there too much until we iron out a few issues.
Thanks for the patience
