--- We apologize for multiple messages ----
We invite researchers to participate in the SHREC (Eurographics Shape
Retrieval Contest, http://www.shrec.net ) 2022 track:
Online detection of heterogeneous gesture
<https://univr-vips.github.io/Shrec22/>
https://univr-vips.github.io/Shrec22/
The track is aimed at benchmarking methods to detect and classify gestures
from 3D trajectories of the
fingers' joints. This track is related to the similar one organized in
2021, but we made some important updates to the gestures' dictionary and the
recognition task and we will provide a novel dataset captured with Hololens
2 finger tracking.
Details and instructions are described on the web page
<https://univr-vips.github.io/Shrec22/>
https://univr-vips.github.io/Shrec22/
Data are now available on the web site.
Results are required by February 28 (strict deadline).

Call for EuroGraphics 2022 Doctoral Consortium Submissions
The Eurographics Doctoral Consortium is a networking event that provides PhD
students, working in all areas of computer graphics, with an excellent
opportunity to present their work and interact with distinguished and
experienced researchers in the field. They will receive feedback and
mentoring, as well as a different perspective from senior researchers
outside their home institution. In addition, the Doctoral Consortium
provides a unique forum for PhD students to share their work and experience
among their fellow PhD students. The Doctoral Consortium will take place
within the Eurographics2022 conference, April 25-29, 2022.
Who should apply?
PhD students working in all areas of computer graphics are encouraged to
apply. We particularly encourage applications from students who are in the
first half of their PhD work, especially those who already have a clear
research direction (possibly with some published results), as they have
sufficient time ahead to profit from their participation in the Doctoral
Consortium. Students who are close to finishing their doctorate degree, or
have very recently finished it, are also welcome to share their experience
and to discuss their ongoing research and future research plans.
The applicants are strongly encouraged to consider submitting a poster of
their work to the poster track in parallel.
Timeline
February 4th, 2022

* research objectives/questions;
* background and related work that informs the authors research;
* research approach, methodology and proposed experiments (where
appropriate);
* dissertation status and a description of the remaining work;
* current and expected contributions.
The research statement should transcend the scope of a single publication or
project, and instead focus on the general research theme or agenda for the
students PhD thesis.
2. Supervisors letter of support: A one-page signed letter from the PhD
students supervisor, supporting her/his participation in the Doctoral
Consortium, and providing the following information:
* the students status with respect to the institutions PhD
requirements;
* the expected date of thesis/dissertation defense or graduation;
* why attendance at this Doctoral Consortium would be particularly

* what contributions the student is likely to make to the event if
invited to attend.
3. Curriculum vitae: A 1-2 pages CV plus the list of all publications.
All three documents must be written in English.
Review Process
The review process is single-anonymous. The review and decision of
acceptance will take into account: (1) Quality of the submission (potential
contribution and impact of the research to the field of computer graphics)
and the authors stage of doctoral research; (2) the benefits of the
consortium for the authors PhD research; (3) the authors contribution to
the diversity of topics, backgrounds and profiles that will integrate the
Consortium.
Each accepted author will be paired with a panelist, a senior researcher in
her/his research field, with whom they will be interacting in a one-to-one
manner.
Participation
All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Doctoral
Consortium, where they will present their work to a panel of experts,
selected by the Doctoral Consortium co-chairs to match at best the topics
related to the accepted submissions.
The doctoral consortium event will be a closed event with only the authors
and the panelists present. The authors will start by presenting their work
(around 10 minutes each) followed by discussion with the panelists and other
authors. Afterwards, there will be time for one-to-one discussions between
each author and their paired panelist.
