Dear colleagues,
We would like to invite you to contribute to:
*******************************************************************************
VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software
(co-located with EuroVis 2024) May 27th, 2024, Odense, Denmark
*******************************************************************************
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'24 aims at gathering 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%). Papers must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers 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'24 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

BIOTECH, GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, JULY 1 - 5, 2024
<https://www.cgs-network.org/cgi24/> https://www.cgs-network.org/cgi24/
CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer
Graphics in the
world. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and novel
achievements in
various fields of Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality. Previous recent CGI
conferences
have been held in Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015),
Heraklion, Greece
(2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), and Calgary in
Canada
(2019). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID
pandemic, and
has been held last year in Shanghai, China (2023).
This year, CGI 2024 is organized by MIRALab-CUI, University of Geneva,
Switzerland, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). The
Visual
Computer Journal, published by Springer Nature, is the official journal of
the Computer
Graphics Society.
You are invited to submit your full paper to CGI 2024. As in previous years,
CGI 2024
papers can be submitted either for possible publication in the Visual
Computer journal, or
for possible publication in the CAVW Journal, VRIH journal and CGI
Conference
Proceedings (LNCS-Springer) .
IMPORTANT DATES

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR PAPERS SUBMISSIONS
The scientific program of the conference will include accepted papers from
the first call for
papers and these accepted papers will be published by Springer in the Visual
Computer
Journal (impact factor 3.5) by Springer-Nature.
The accepted papers from the second call for papers will be included either
in the CGI
conference Proceedings published by LNCS, Springer, or in the VRIH journal
(Virtual Reality
and Intelligent Hardware journal published by Science Press), or in the CAVW
journal
(Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds) published by Wiley.
Note that for ALL submissions, the review process is double blind, which
requires the paper
and all supplemental materials to be anonymous. Ensure that self-referencing
is anonymous
(refer to your full name rather than "I" or "we"). Avoid providing
information that may identify
the authors in the acknowledgements (e.g. co-workers and grant IDs) and in
the
supplemental material (e.g. titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid
providing links to
websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines
will lead to rejection
without review.

Dear colleagues,
The *EuroVis PhD Award* recognizes outstanding dissertations in academic research and development covering topics relevant to visualization. The intent of this award is to recognize excellent young researchers in their early career and to highlight visualization research.
Eligibility:
All dissertations by PhD researchers from the European visualization community (e.g., through contributions to the EuroVis conference) that were defended and awarded a doctoral degree between Jan 1, 2022 and Dec 31, 2023 are eligible for the 2024 competition.
Submission:
The PhD researcher's advisor should nominate the candidate using this online form:
https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/eurovis-phd-award/nomin…
The nomination package must include:
- A nomination letter written by the advisor including the name, email address, CV and publication list of the candidate, the dates when the dissertation was defended and when the degree was awarded, and a one-page summary of the significance of the dissertation.
- The PDF of the dissertation (or a download link).
- Optional additional letters of recommendation can also be attached.
Deadline for nominations is January 31, 2024. See also https://www.eg.org/wp/eurovis-phd-award/<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eg.or…>
Aligned with the Eurographics PhD Award, the awardees of the EuroVis PhD Award will be offered the opportunity to publish the state of the art section of their thesis as a STAR in the Computer Graphics Forum Journal.
Feel free to contact me through eurovis-phd-award(a)eg.org<mailto:eurovis-phd-award@eg.org> in case of questions.
