The Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV)
aims to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge on leveraging and
defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization. This area is
important due to the widespread availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and
cluster systems. Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications
in graphics and visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require
novel, efficient parallel solutions.
EGPGV 2025 will take place on June 2, 2025, and will be co-located with
EuroVis 2025, held June 2 to June 6, 2025, in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg.
The proceedings of EGPGV will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings
Series and the Eurographics Digital Library.
EGPGV seeks papers on graphics and visualization that involve parallel
computing and/or focus on very large data sets. Papers on techniques,
data structures, algorithms, systems, and applications are welcomed.
Parallel computing includes high-performance computing and cloud
environments, (multi-)GPU computing and heterogeneous, hybrid
architectures, and shared and/or distributed memory architectures.
Further, papers focused on processing very large data sets (either for
visualization or graphics) are welcomed, even if they do not have a
particular focus on parallelism.
Typical Symposium Topics:
- Computationally and data-intensive rendering
- Scientific visualization (e.g., volume, flow, and tensor visualization)
- Machine learning as applied to parallel graphics, visualization,
and/or large data analytics
- Information visualization and visual analytics
- In situ analytics and in situ visualization
- Out-of-core processing of large data sets for visualization or graphics
- Simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation,
collision detection, acoustics)
- Mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods
- Visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing
and exploitation, segmentation)
- Scheduling, memory management, and data coherence
- Parallelization approaches and algorithms, such as MapReduce
- Database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, and query-based
visualization
- Advanced hardware for data handling or visualization
- Large and high-resolution displays, virtual environments
- Scientific, engineering, and industrial applications
- Data analytics on large scientific data sets
In general, appropriate topics for the symposium fall into one of four
categories:
1. Parallel graphics
2. Rendering of very large data sets
3. Parallel visualization and analytics
4. Processing of large data sets for visualization or analytics
Submission Types:
- Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) in Eurographics format (+1 page for references)

The Expressive+Wiced 2025 ( <http://expressive.graphics/2025/> http://expressive.graphics/2025/) will take place in London, UK, on May 12th 2025 - co-located with Eurographics 2025.
The Expressive Symposium explores the capacity of computer graphics, animation, and computational media to be used in artistic, aesthetic, and creative ways. The field can be seen as encompassing problems in expressive understanding, expressive communication, and expressive interaction:
* Expressive understanding integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied, and performing arts, investigating theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning.
* Expressive communication focuses on imagery and motion, which is expressive rather than photorealistic, although it may incorporate realistic elements.
* Expressive interaction explores models, algorithms, and technologies for sketch-based and XR interfaces, particularly classifying and recognizing hand-drawn shapes as a way to create or edit digital models, text, mathematics, or 3D shapes.
Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories:
* Research: New algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). Research papers must contain novel results that substantially contribute to the field.
* Production: Candid discussion of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or developing a tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). We are equally interested in papers on using existing techniques combined in novel ways or their application in a new or unusual context.
* Creative: Descriptions of original creative projects or analyses of expressive techniques used in artworks, performances, or computational design projects. Creative papers should highlight artistic innovation, and we encourage artists submitting to the Expressive 2025 Art Exhibition also to submit a creative paper describing their project.
* Meta: Research statements that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art/aesthetics/psychophysics for a computer science audience. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines.
Submissions can also overlap more than one of these categories.
At Expressive 2025, the Technical Papers program will have two integrated paper tracks: Journal (Elsevier Computers & Graphics) and Conference.
The papers can be submitted through:
- Elsevier Computers and Graphics submission portal (Link: <https://www.editorialmanager.com/cag/default.aspx> https://www.editorialmanager.com/cag/default.aspx - Note: please select VSI: Expressive Media 2025). After reviews, the best papers will be retained for publication in the C&G journal, while other high-quality papers that do not reach the C&G bar will be redirected to the conference paper track. The submitted papers must be anonymous and formatted according to the C&G guidelines. There is no strict page limit, but the length should justify the contribution.
- SRM submission system (Link: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025) - The papers submitted through SRM will only be considered for the conference track. The conference proceedings will be made available online via Eurographics Digital Library. They will also be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The submitted papers must be anonymous and formatted in the template given here: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025/GetConferenceFi…> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025/GetConferenceFi…

Submission via: <https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions>
https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions
EuroVis short papers present late-breaking results, work in progress,
follow-up extensions, or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers may
cover all areas of visualization and describe more focused and concise
research contributions and are likely to have a smaller yet still
significant scope of contribution than full papers. Short papers draw from
the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested
topics. The following descriptive examples may be helpful in understanding
what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers:
- A new visualization approach and sufficient evidence of its utility.
- Incremental improvements or variations of known approaches and their
convincing evaluation.
- An extensive evaluation of existing techniques or systems.
- Well-proven counter examples that enhance our understanding of the
strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of existing visualizations.
- Discussions or reflections - potentially controversial - of current
visualization practice that substantially advance our understanding of
visualization.
- A new implementation approach that has demonstrably resolved a significant
technical issue.
- A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has
demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community.
- Novel practical applications of established visualization techniques and
evidence of their usefulness.

*******************************************************************************
VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software
(co-located with EuroVis 2025) June 2nd, 2025, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg
*******************************************************************************
Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap workshop aims to shed light on this gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community.
VisGap'25 aims to gather experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software. The scope of VisGap also includes reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance, ultimately fostering adoption in the wild. We also explicitly solicit contributions about visualization systems and tools, and their employment in research and practice.
We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book, or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%).
*** NEW this year *** We solicit extended abstracts of up to 2 pages (plus an additional page for references). The abstracts can present research ideas, projects, opinions, or a collection of problems. All accepted abstracts will be invited to give a lightning talk.
Papers and extended abstracts must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'25 workshop to present their work.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general
- Domain-specific requirements for visualizations
- Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem
- Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software
- Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in applications
- Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications
- Requirements for novel visualization libraries
- Verification and validation in visualization (applications)
- Reproducibility of visualizations

We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines.
Submissions can also overlap more than one of these categories.
At Expressive 2025, the Technical Papers program will have two integrated paper tracks: Journal (Elsevier Computers & Graphics) and Conference.
The papers can be submitted through:
- Elsevier Computers and Graphics submission portal (Link: <https://www.editorialmanager.com/cag/default.aspx> https://www.editorialmanager.com/cag/default.aspx - Note: please select VSI: Expressive Media 2025). After reviews, the best papers will be retained for publication in the C&G journal, while other high-quality papers that do not reach the C&G bar will be redirected to the conference paper track. The submitted papers must be anonymous and formatted according to the C&G guidelines. There is no strict page limit, but the length should justify the contribution.
- SRM submission system (Link: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025) - The papers submitted through SRM will only be considered for the conference track. The conference proceedings will be made available online via Eurographics Digital Library. They will also be archived in the ACM Digital Library. The submitted papers must be anonymous and formatted in the template given here: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025/GetConferenceFi…> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_WICED_2025/GetConferenceFi…

Dear colleague,
We are writing to remind you that the first SGP 2025 papers deadline is in three weeks. We encourage you to submit your geometry processing work to this deadline: if you do, you will be notified of the acceptance decision on <canary:event?ts=763747205.00> March 15th, leaving you with almost one month to resubmit your revised work to our second deadline of <canary:event?ts=766080005.00> April 11th (if rejected), and with over three months to apply for a visa to present your work at the conference (if accepted). Please find the call for papers below.
The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 2025 will be held in Bilbao (Basque Country / Spain) <canary:event?ts=772992005.00> on 30 June - 4 July, 2025. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts <canary:event?ts=772992005.00> on 30 June - 1 July. Conference website: https://sgp2025.my.canva.site/
Call for papers
Important Changes from past years: new, visa-friendly deadline in mid-February. Details below
SGP is the premier venue for disseminating research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are developed and applied to offer insights into and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections.
We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Acquisition and reconstruction
* Analysis and fabrication for 3D printing
* Architectural geometry
* Computational geometry
* Differentiable rendering
* Discrete differential geometry
* Exploration of shape collections
* Geometry and topology data structures and representations
* Geometry compression
* Geometric deep learning
* Geometric representations for machine learning
* Geometry processing applications
* Interactive techniques
* Meshing and remeshing
* Multiresolution modeling
* Multimodal shape processing
* Neural shape representations
* Point cloud acquisition and processing
* Processing of massive geometric datasets
* Shape analysis and synthesis
* Simulation and animation
* Smoothing, filtering, and denoising
* Surface and volume parameterization and deformation
Dataset Papers
SGP encourages submission of dataset papers to the technical papers program. Geometric datasets play a critical role in evaluating the behavior of geometric algorithms, and in recent years they have provided challenging examples that have driven the field forward. We seek papers that build on this success by providing, documenting, and discussing datasets with larger, more challenging examples than those seen before—or datasets that capture new challenges in geometry processing.
The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. 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.
[NEW THIS YEAR] For its 2025 edition, SGP uses a double deadline format to provide more researchers with enough time to obtain a visa to attend the conference without penalizing authors who may want to submit to our usual mid-Spring deadline. Authors who choose to submit by the first deadline will receive a notification of acceptance in mid March, and can readily register to the conference and apply for a visa. A paper submitted to the first deadline and rejected can be resubmitted to the second one. All accepted papers will appear in the same Computer Graphics Forum special issue, independently of the deadline they were submitted by.
The new timeline is as follows:
First (visa-friendly) round of submissions
- Abstract submission: <canary:event?ts=760381205.00> Feb 4, 2025 (recommended)
- Paper submission: <canary:event?ts=760640405.00> Feb 7, 2025

Awards and Recognitions
Following its traditions, SGP 2025 will attribute three best paper awards, a software award recognising the authors of an open-source software that has greatly influenced the field, and a data set award designed to acknowledge the suppliers of high quality datasets used in geometry processing. In addition, SGP may provide papers with the reproducibility stamp to recognise the effort of researchers who, in addition to publishing their paper at SGP 2025, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.
