Education and Training

At JALI Research Inc., we believe the future of digital storytelling begins with education. With deep roots in academia and a team of innovators in motion graphics and facial animation, we are committed to sharing our domain expertise with the next generation of storytellers.

Born out of University of Toronto Early Stage Technology (UTEST), JALI has grown into a global leader in procedural facial animation, lip sync, and rigging. Our tools are trusted by top studios worldwide and are designed to combine high-end production capabilities with core animation principles, making them a strong fit for both professional and educational environments.

We offer in-person and virtual learning opportunities for institutions and organizations around the world. This includes guest lectures, hands-on workshops, and educational licensing for programs seeking to integrate real-world tools into their curriculum.

Whether you are designing a course, hosting a speaker, or preparing students for careers in real-time or cinematic production, we are excited to collaborate and support your goals.
