This is a reminder that the early bird deadline of ICAT-EGVE 2014 and EuroVR
2014 is only a few days ahead.
Both conferences are co-located in Bremen, Germany.
The focus of EuroVR is applied research, while the focus of ICAT-EGVE is on
fundamental research,
both in the area of VR, AR, and MR.
If you want to catch the early-bird fees, head over to

http://icategve14.uni-bremen.de/registration.html
We have a program packed with scientific sessions, applied research,
three keynote talks by distinguished researchers in the field,
lots of exhibitors showing the latest innovations in VR and AR,
demos, posters, conference dinner,
and, of course, the best Christmas fair in Germany.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Bremen.

DIRK BARTZ PRIZE FOR VISUAL COMPUTING IN MEDICINE 2015 (EUROGRAPHICS MEDICAL
PRIZE)
Submission Deadline: 09 January 2015
Notification: 20 February 2015
The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge
the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and
to encourage further development. Originally called "Eurographics Medical
Prize" the competition was renamed to "Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing
in Medicine" in 2010 -- in honor of Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early
in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic
scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine;
furthermore, he was an active member of the Eurographics Association and
Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009.
CALL
Submissions for the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2015
are being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a
particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology
in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could
include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods,
or virtual/augmented environments. Further information is available at
<http://www.eurographics2015.ch/eurographics-medical-prize/>
http://www.eurographics2015.ch/eurographics-medical-prize/
WINNERS
The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing
in Medicine 2015 will receive a prize and their submission will be published
in the "Short Papers and Medical Prize Awards" digital media proceedings.
The judging panel will select the winning entry on the basis of its clinical
value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty. All three winning teams
will have an opportunity to briefly present their results at Eurographics
2015, which means that at least one author of each winning team must attend
to present the results.

Max Planck Institute for Informatics
The Max Planck Institute for Informatics, as the coordinator of the Max
Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication (MPC-VCC), invites
applications for
Junior Research Group Leaders
in the Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communication
The Max Planck Center for Visual Computing and Communications offers young
scientists in information technology the opportunity to develop their own
research program addressing important problems in areas such as
· image communication
· computer graphics
· geometric computing
· imaging systems
· computer vision
· human machine interface
· distributed multimedia architectures
· multimedia networking
· visual media security.
The center includes an outstanding group of faculty members at Stanfords
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering Departments, the Max Planck
Institute for Informatics, and Saarland University.
The program begins with a preparatory 1-2 year postdoc phase (Phase P)
at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, followed by a two-year
appointment at Stanford University (Phase I) as a visiting assistant
professor, and then a position at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics
as a junior research group leader (Phase II). However, the program can be
entered flexibly at each phase, commensurate with the experience of the
applicant.
Applicants to the program must have completed an outstanding PhD.
Exact duration of the preparatory postdoc phase is flexible, but we
typically expect this to be about 1-2 years. Applicants who completed their
PhD in Germany may enter Phase I of the program directly. Applicants for
Phase II are expected to have completed a postdoc stay abroad and must have
demonstrated their outstanding research potential and ability to
successfully lead a research group.
Reviewing of applications will commence on 01 Jan 2015. The final
deadline is 31 Jan 2015. Applicants should submit their CV, copies of their
school and university reports, list of publications, reprints of five
selected publications, names of 3-5 references, a brief description of their
previous research and a detailed description of the proposed research
project (including possible opportunities for collaboration with existing
research groups at Saarbrücken and Stanford) to:
Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Seidel
Max Planck Institute for Informatics,
Campus E 1 4, 66123 Saarbrücken, Germany;
Email: <mailto:mpc-vcc@mpi-inf.mpg.de> mpc-vcc(a)mpi-inf.mpg.de
The Max Planck Center is an equal opportunity employer and women are
encouraged to apply.
