The Departmental Collaboration course aims to encourage joint work between students from different groups and projects, simulating the interdisciplinary collaboration dynamics found in a professional environment. The main approach involves joining another course's project as a collaborator, contributing specific skills in 3D animation and VFX within an external team. However, students may also propose individual projects or their own initiatives related to animation and visual effects, provided they meet the quality and professional standards of the course.

- Integration into external teams — The student joins a working group from another project or course, taking on an active role within the team as a full member.
- Real production collaboration — Direct participation in the project's tasks, contributing technical and artistic skills in 3D animation and VFX.
- Communication and coordination — Adapting to the dynamics, methodology, and workflow of the host team, practicing effective communication across departments.
- Own proposals — Possibility of presenting an individual project or a personal initiative related to animation and visual effects.
The course methodology is based on direct connection between students and working teams from other ongoing projects. The student identifies a group to collaborate with, joins their production dynamic, and works as a full team member, taking on real tasks within the project. Progress is monitored through regular meetings with the supervisor, who oversees both the student's integration into the team and their specific contribution to the project.
Collaboration report (100%) — Written document that compiles and summarizes the work carried out during the collaboration, detailing the role assumed, the tasks developed, and the individual contribution to the project.
