Series Mania Institut predstavlja Eureka Series, intenzivni 10-tjedni program obuke za europske pisce koji za cilj ima razvoj vještina suradničkog pisanja stvaranjem originalnog koncepta serije u grupama uz mentorstvo stručnjaka.
U prvim danima programa polaznici će biti podijeljeni u grupe te će svaka od njih tijekom deset tjedana obuke razvijati originalni koncept serije u tzv. sobi za pisce (engl. writer's room). Podijeljeni u grupe, sudionici će naučiti zajednički pisati uz nadzor mentora, dok će ih stručnjaci za serije savjetovati tijekom cijele obuke o specifičnim aspektima pisanja i razvoja.
Osim toga, svaki tjedan programa obuke bit će posvećen specifičnom aspektu stvaranja serije koji će podučavati profesionalni mentori, kao što su definiranje koncepta, likova i razvoja sezone te razumijevanje europskog i međunarodnog krajolika serija.
Tijekom tzv. Final Residency, događanja u posljednjem tjednu programa, sudionici će naučiti kako predstaviti svoje koncepte serije u tihom i ugodnom okruženju. Kulminaciju obuke predstavlja završni pitching tijekom kojeg će se predstaviti svaki originalni koncept serije te će ga ocijeniti stručna komisija.
Osim predavanja i radionica predvođenih iskusnim europskim profesionalcima, kao i masterclassova s rukovoditeljima industrije te studija slučaja o nedavnim europskim serijama, Eureka Series svakom sudioniku nudi izradu profila u sklopu Instituta koji je dostupan profesionalcima iz industrije, mogućnosti profesionalnog umrežavanja te pristup Series Mania Forumu 2025.
