Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 (Eurographics Medical Prize)
The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization techniques in medicine and life sciences, and to encourage further development. Originally called “Eurographics Medical Prize”, the competition was renamed to “Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine” in 2010—in honor of Dirk Bartz, who passed away in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher, and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize, in 2007 and 2009. Before, the prize was co-located with the Eurographics Conference. Since 2021, it is co-located with EuroVis and it is broadened to include contributions in life sciences.
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: February 10, 2023 (Friday)
Notification: March 31, 2023 (Friday)
Camera-Ready: April 14, 2023 (Friday)
Talk at Conference and Award: June 12-16, 2023
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.
Call
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 are being invited from researchers and developers, who can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical/life sciences application has resulted from the use of visual computing technology that they have produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas of visual computing—examples include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. Entries typically summarize a body of research and/or development that has been conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and weight is put on demonstrating the medical/life sciences impact of the work.
Winners
The judging panel will select the winning entry, based on its medical/life sciences value, use of visual computing methods, and novelty. The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 will receive a prize and their submission will be published in the EG Digital Library. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present their results at EuroVis 2023, which means that at least one author of each winning team must register and attend, to present the results.
The <https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/other-eg-awards/dirk-ba…> Hall of Fame documents previous recipients of the prize.

Renata Georgia Raidou, TU Wien, Austria
Torsten W. Kuhlen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
For any questions concerning prize submissions please contact the prize co-chairs at: <mailto:dbprize@eurovis.org> dbprize(at)eurovis.org.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions will be made electronically through the Precision Conference System.
Submitted written entries have to be prepared as papers of up to 4 pages (+1 extra page for references) and must be formatted according to the <https://conferences.eg.org/eurovis2023/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2022/11/…> conference template .
The submission of complementary material like videos, demo applications, and references to additional publications of the authors, theses, etc. is highly welcome.
The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2023 will be held in Genova, Italy on 3-5 July, 2023. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 1-2 July.
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.

Call for Short Papers
Authors are invited to submit short papers up to 4 pages (including
bibliography). Eurographics Short Papers program presents compact but
self-contained work on all areas related to computer graphics, such as
rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual and
augmented reality, image processing, computational photography,
computational fabrication, and machine learning methods in computer
graphics. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and
practically useful improvements to the state of the art, which are not
thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like
to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings
that might otherwise remain unpublished. The program helps these papers be
easily referenced in the literature.
Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media
proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted
papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the
conference.
TIMELINE
* Dec. 20, 2022: Submission deadline
* Feb. 17, 2023: Notification
* Mar. 23, 2023: Camera-ready
* Apr. 12, 2023: Video and Fast-Forward video due
* All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC
SUBMISSION DETAILS
Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2023S> Submission and Review
Management (SRM) system. Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages
in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author's guidelines
(short papers LaTeX style package available from the
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2023S/GetConferenceFile?fileID=143
76> SRM system). Please remember to enable line numbering for an easier
reviewing process.
Authors of accepted papers will present a very short summary or a teaser
during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds
(exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a
smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the
slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one
without. These presentations will be available on the web throughout the
conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors.
PLAGIARISM
A submission to the Eurographics Short Papers program should describe an
original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content
originating from others without properly crediting their original sources.
Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but
also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work
posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply
with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection.
PRIOR ART
Given the page limit, Short Papers is not the most appropriate venue for
publishing works that require extensive comparison with a crowded
state-of-the-art. However, authors are expected to cite, discuss differences
and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to the most
relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a
peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a
professional reviewing process.
But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications,
such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth
refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and
the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking
authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes
an unreasonable burden - a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in
its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the
deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to
these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete
and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to
discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv,
technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those
that inspired them (see "Plagiarism" above). Nevertheless, we encourage
authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic
practice dictates.
DOUBLE SUBMISSION POLICY
By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Short Papers program, authors
acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been
previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed
venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently
under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection.

Submission Instructions
-----------------------
The maximum length for submitted papers to the full papers track is 10 pages
(in Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) style, including all images, but excluding
references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary documents to
provide extra content. Papers exceeding the maximum allowed number of pages
will be automatically rejected.
Submissions must be made using the Computer Graphics Forum style, using the

https://conferences.eg.org/eurovis2023/for-submitters/full-papers/.
Authors have the option to submit their papers anonymously. In contrast to
previous years, double-blind reviewing is optional, not required: authors
may choose to disclose their identities to the reviewers. The reviewing
process does not consider anonymity as a factor. The process will attempt to
preserve anonymity of authors of anonymized submissions. However, the
program committee, which is responsible for half of the reviews, will know
the authors of submissions reviewed by them.
Authors have the option of submitting additional material with their
submissions. Supplementary materials, such as videos and supporting data,
are encouraged. For papers that have previously been reviewed for other
venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are strongly
encouraged to provide the original submission with a cover letter describing
the changes they have made to comply with reviewers' comments and requests.
All full papers accepted to EuroVis appear in a special issue of Computer
Graphics Forum, containing the conference proceedings, and will appear at
the same time in the Eurographics digital library.
EuroVis submissions and papers are subject to the pre-print and
self-archiving policies of the Computer Graphics Forum journal. Details are
available from the journal web site:

Submission of an abstract is mandatory by the abstract deadline, with
completed papers due by the full paper deadline. Submissions will not be
accepted if an abstract is not submitted by the abstract deadline. Abstract
submissions require the title, authors, paper type, abstract, and keywords
in the form. The remaining fields (the document, additional material) are
submitted by the full paper deadline. Please note that EuroVis accepted
papers are published as a regular-length journal article, so submitting just
an abstract is not sufficient. Submitters need to choose keywords and
categories appropriate for their paper as this information is used in
reviewer selection.

Fully funded PhD Position Visual Analytics for Fine Arts Analysis and Simulation
The <http://graphics.tudelft.nl/> Computer Graphics and Visualization (CGV) group at the <https://www.tudelft.nl/en/eemcs/the-faculty/> Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS), <https://www.tudelft.nl/> TU Delft invites applications for full-time doctoral candidates in the area of Visualization and Visual Analytics in Fine-Art analysis. The successful candidate will work together with collaborators from the department of Material Science and Engineering at TU Delft and the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam on novel visualization and visual analytics methods, as well as visual workflows. Topics include the identification of pigments or layering structures in historical paintings, the reasoning on the aging process of these pigments, and the simulation of different lighting conditions. For this, we will work with hyperspectral and other high-dimensional imaging data modalities. Besides workflows and design of visual representations, the project will provide different opportunities to work on methodological improvements for the analysis of this data. An example is the adaptation of dimensionality reduction algorithms for information visualization or the improvement of the acquisition process by (partially) predicting modalities using machine learning methods.
The CGV group investigates realistic, perceptual, and expressive rendering, visualization of scientific and medical data, interaction and game technologies, and modelling of 3D content. Our goal is to develop methods to produce virtual worlds and provide high-quality display solutions efficiently and effectively. We aim for solutions to produce instructive illustrations with real-world applications (e.g., medical visualization, or flooding simulations) and make use of perceptual findings to increase the effectiveness of the displayed information. Our work is often multi-disciplinary and combines aspects of various fields, such as physics, parallel programming, algorithms, perception, or numerical methods.
