Computer Graphics International (CGI 2026)
London, UK | July 06–10, 2026
Co-hosted by Bournemouth University and University of the Arts London
<https://www.cgs-network.org/cgi26/> https://www.cgs-network.org/cgi26/
CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer Graphics in the world. Half a century of influence places the CGI as one of the top conferences on computer graphics and visualization. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and present novel achievements in Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, AI and Machine Learning, Media, as well as Virtual, Augmented and Extended Reality. Previous CGI conferences have been held around the globe including Bournemouth, UK (2012), Hannover, Germany(2013), Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015), Heraklion, Greece (2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), Calgary, Canada (2019), Shanghai, China (2023), and Geneva, Switzerland (2024), and Hongkong, China (2025). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID pandemic.
This year, CGI 2026 is organized by the National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University, co-hosted by the Creative Computing Institute at University of the Arts London, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). The Visual Computer Journal (Springer Nature), the official journal of the Computer Graphics Society, is closely associated with the conference.
CGI 2026 invites authors to submit their papers to two different tracks:
1. The first one, the CGI 2026 - The Visual Computer track, welcomes submissions aligned with the scope of The Visual Computer journal (see journal website <https://link.springer.com/journal/371> https://link.springer.com/journal/371). Authors should first submit their full papers via EasyChair for CGI 2026. If conditionally accepted, the paper will then need to be submitted to The Visual Computer journal for final publication.
2. The second track welcomes papers that have broader computer graphics topics, which can be submitted via EasyChair. Accepted papers will be published in the CGI 2026 proceedings as a LNCS Springer book volume. Outstanding papers from this track will be invited for extended publication in The Visual Computer journal or Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds (Wiley) journal.

Dear all,
This is a friendly reminder that the submission deadline for the first call of SGP 2026 is approaching soon (Abstract submission (recommended): Feb. 2, 2026, Paper submission: Feb. 4, 2026) . See below for more details.
Best regards,
The SGP chairs
----------
The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (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.
SGP 2026 will be held in Bern, Switzerland, on 1-3 July, 2026. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 29-30 June, 2026. Please refer to the conference website for additional information: [ https://sgp2025.my.canva.site/ | ] [ https://sgp26.org/ | https://sgp26.org/ ]
Call for papers
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
*
Geometry and topology data structures and representations
*
Exploration of shape collections
*
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.
For its 2026 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 timeline is as follows:
First Round of Submission
(Recommended) Abstract submission: Feb 2, 2026
Paper Submission: Feb 4, 2026
Notification of Acceptance: Mar 16, 2026
Revised Version due: Mar 26, 2026
Camera Ready due: Apr 2, 2026
Second Round of Submission
(Recommended) Abstract submission: Apr 13, 2026
Paper Submission: Apr 15, 2026
Notification of Acceptance: May 25, 2026
Revised Version due: Jun 4, 2026
Camera Ready due: Jun 11, 2026
Graduate School: Jun 29-30, 2026
Conference: Jul 1-3, 2026
All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC/GMT.
Paper submission via the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: [ https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2026_FP1 | https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2026_FP1 ] (will be available soon)
Awards and Recognitions
Following its traditions, SGP 2026 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 2026, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.

outstanding scientific contributions to the EuroVis conference [3]). The
intent of this award is to recognize people early on in their career who
have already made a notable contribution and are likely to make more.
Nominations: Members of the visualization research community may
nominate individuals for the EuroVis Early Career Award by filling out
the online form at:
https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/visualization-award/nom…
<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eg.or…>
Note that Candidates to the EuroVis Early Career Award 2026 must have
finished their PhD in 2020 or later [4]. Deadline for nominations is
**January, 31st 2026**.
Questions regarding the award and the nomination process may be
forwarded to the awards chair, Gerik Scheuermann
