"Our mission through the CODEX program is to share our technological expertise and our knowledge of creative processes to prepare future generations for the challenges that await them," says Yannis Mallat, president and CEO of Ubisoft Montreal.

CODEX will also work with a handful of schools and universities, including the National School of Theatre in Canada; HEC Montreal; École de technologie supérieure; École des arts numériques, de l'animation et du design (NAD) UQAC; Champlain College of Vermont (Montréal campus); Polytechnique Montréal; Concordia University; Université de Montréal; Université de Sherbrooke; Université du Québec à Chicoutimi; Laval University; McGill University and UQAT Montréal.
