EG TUTORIALS 2022
Call for contributions
The Eurographics2022 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials
teaching the technical background of a given subject or demonstrating its
potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be
done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can
be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial, you should consider that
tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and
development to education and application.
We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning,
intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics.
Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle.
Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer
lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific
material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly
indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of
instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by
external reviewers. The final selection will be based on the quality of the
submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference
topics, and balance of topics.
Digital support of accepted tutorials will be made available to every
Eurographics registered participant and will also be included in the
Eurographics digital library. Eurographics does not require copyright for
the tutorial notes it publishes. The tutorial speakers may reuse their
material freely. For each accepted tutorial, one free registration is
provided per half-day of that tutorial.

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
conference LaTeX template for full papers. A LaTeX style sheet and overleaf
template will be provided as well as a sample document explaining the
required format.
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:
<https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-acce
ss/preprints-policy.html>
https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-acces
s/preprints-policy.html
Given the uncertainty due to the pandemic, further details will be
communicated regarding possible Open Access charges.
Abstracts and full papers are submitted using the Precision Conference
System (PCS): <https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis22a>
https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis22a
Please note you shall select Eurographics as Society.
Submission of an abstract is mandatory by the abstract deadline, with
completed papers due on 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 should choose keywords and
categories appropriate for their paper as this information is used in
reviewer selection.

EG STARs 2022
Call for contributions
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent edition. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary areas are also highly welcomed. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library. A list of recent STARs can be found <https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars> here.
Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. 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. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum.
At EUROGRAPHICS 2022, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow the presentation.
We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the authors’ short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey papers.
Electronic submissions of STARs are mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management System. Papers must be written in English and prepared according to this year's template, which can be found at the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2022STARs> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. STARs must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2.

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.

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.
