We are pleased to announce 15 open PhD positions in the MSCA ITN PRIME
(Predictive Rendering In Manufacture and Engineering).
PRIME ( <http://prime-itn.eu/> http://prime-itn.eu/) is a Marie
Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the framework of Horizon
2020, starting on October 1st, 2020 with a four-year duration. The network
consists of 7 universities and one company as hiring institutions, plus 11
industrial partners.
The goal of this ITN is to have the participants develop skills and
protocols needed for industrial usage of Predictive Rendering (PR)
technologies - image synthesis which delivers results that one can actually
rely on to be visually accurate. Application areas of such systems are in
such diverse areas as product design, architecture, sensor system
calibration, training of autonomous vehicle systems, movie VFX and
manufacturing control. Goal of the ITN is to collectively train young
researchers in this promising, future-oriented and research-driven
application area: each PhD student has an industrially relevant cutting-edge
research topic, descriptions of which can be found in the individual job
adverts:
<http://prime-itn.eu/positions.html> http://prime-itn.eu/positions.html
PRIME brings some of the main European actors in the field of rendering
research together. And in addition to a high profile academic consortium,
the network can offer students a number of prominent end users of accurate
rendering technology as industrial partners. Having the likes of IKEA,
Procter & Gamble, Weta Digital, Zeiss and Adobe all together in one project
offers unique opportunities to see multiple real world usage cases for
predictive rendering technology in action.
Hiring is open until October 12th, 2020: please refer to

=SCA 2020 Call for Posters=
Dear Colleagues,
This year, the 19th annual ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on
Computer Animation (SCA), the premier forum for innovations in the
software and technology of computer animation, will be held online,
September 2020 (dates to be announced soon).
We would like to bring your attention to our call for posters. Our
poster track is an ideal venue for researchers to
share their theories and innovations with peers and collaborators. Fresh
content generates discussion, feedback, and inspiration. Moreover, we
are happy to announce that poster abstracts (up to two pages in length)
will be included in the Eurographics Digital Library.
We look forward to receive your submissions,
and we hope to see you all in cyberspace!
Poster Instructions:
* Submission via email to <mailto:sca2020@computationalsciences.org>
sca2020(a)computationalsciences.org
* SCA will be using the Eurographics / Computer Graphics Forum style
* Submission deadline: August 29, 2020
* Notification of acceptance: September 3, 2020
Electronic Submission:
All poster abstracts should be submitted via email to
<mailto:sca2020@computationalsciences.org>
sca2020(a)computationalsciences.org by the submission deadline.
Each email message must be less than 25MB. If this is not sufficient for
your submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission
in parts as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials,
links to external websites are allowed.

Call for State-of-the-Art Reports
EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, conferences.eg.org/eg2021 <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> ---> enjoy Vienna !
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent edition. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary areas are also highly welcomed. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library. A list of recent STARs <https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars> can be found here <https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars> .
Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
At EUROGRAPHICS’2021, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow the presentation.
