Call for Education Papers
We are seeking original contributions for presentation and publication in
the EG 2016 education track. The scope of the track includes topics in
education in computer graphics, computer graphics in education, effective
teaching tips and techniques focusing on computer graphics course content,
and outstanding student projects in computer graphics. Authors are invited
to submit papers, panels and student projects.
Education papers should give new insights or experience that improve student
learning and that instructors can take into the classroom. Proposals for
panels should state the problem to be discussed and include a short
statement from proposed panelists. Notes on teaching tips and techniques
should describe proven ways to engage student interest or present difficult
topics. Notes on outstanding student projects should describe the learning
context for the project and show how the student brought individual
creativity to the work.
We invite submissions related to the following topics:
· teaching computer graphics in various curricula including computer
science, engineering, and arts;
· designing curricula for computer graphics and related disciplines
including image processing, animation and games;
· promoting undergraduate research in computer graphics;
· creating educational programs combining computer graphics with
other disciplines;
· exploiting visual tools and techniques to teach in other
disciplines;
· teaching the mathematical foundations of computer graphics and
related disciplines.
The best papers will be recommended to the editors of prestigious journals
in the field, CGF, C&G and IEEECG&A, who may invite the authors of these
papers to submit extended versions to their journals.

MARIE CURIE RESEARCH FELLOW POSITION
Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary
qualifications in order to fill one (1) full time Marie Curie Research
Fellow Position within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
and Informatics in the field of 3D Reconstruction and Computer Vision in
Cultural Heritage:
The Marie Curie Fellow will work within the 4D-CH-World Marie Curie IAPP
Programme (www.4d-ch-world.eu). 4D-CH-World is a major EU funded programme
which brings together six (6) leading European partners in a transnational
network, aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectorial
research and training programme between the academic and the industrial
partners in the field of Computer Graphics, Digital Libraries and Cultural
Heritage.
The project 4D-CH-World will analyze, design, research, develop and validate
an innovative system integrating the latest advances in computer vision and
learning, as well as, 3D modeling and virtual reality for the rapid and
cost-effective 4D maps reconstruction in the wild for personal use, and
support the aim of our European Commons and the digital libraries EUROPEANA
and UNESCO Memory of the World (MoW) to build a sense of a shared European
cultural history and identity. Specifically, we are interested in the
development of a fully automated time-varying 3D model engine for cultural
heritage urban environments from a large collection of historical images, in
order to fulfill professionals and organizations needs for more versatile
functionalities, offering not only access and retrieval of high quality
content but also supporting more sophisticated functionalities such
as interoperable (metadata) cultural object descriptions, immersion of
content into diverse (educational / cultural / research) contexts,
3D reconstruction of (partially) damaged artefacts.
The Marie Curie Fellow (One Experienced Researcher-ER) will be based at the
Cyprus University of Technology/Department of Electrical and Computer
