The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 2025 will be held in Bilbao (Basque Country / Spain) on 30 June - 4 July, 2025. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts 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: Feb 4, 2025 (recommended)
- Paper submission: Feb 7, 2025
- Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2025
- Revised version due: March 29, 2025
- Camera ready due: April 5, 2025
Second (traditional) round of submissions
- Abstract submission: April 8, 2025 (recommended)
- Paper submission: April 11, 2025
- Notification of acceptance: May 16, 2025
- Revised version due: May 30, 2025
- Camera ready due: June 6, 2025
- Graduate School: Jun 30 - Jul 1
- Conference: Jul 2 - Jul 4
All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC/GMT.
Paper submission via the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2025_FP1> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2025_FP1
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.

EuroVis 2025: Call for workshops
https://www.eurovis2025.lu/for-submitters/workshops
We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization. These informal workshops in EuroVis provide a setting for participants to discuss advanced topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops at EuroVis are open to all registered attendees (“invitation only” workshops will not be approved).
Important Dates
* Proposal Submission Monday, November 11, 2024
* Notification Monday, November 25, 2024
All deadlines are at 11:59 pm (23:59) AoE Anywhere on Earth (AoE)<https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth>.
Workshops should:
* Emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium;
* Encourage information flow not solely from the presenters to the audience but rather engage the participation of all attendees, for example, through collective or small group discussions.
Possible topics may include emerging or persisting problems, developing research agendas, networking to find common interests and possibilities for cooperation, interacting with domain experts involving analysis of their domain problems, etc.
When choosing workshop topics to propose, please consider pre-approved workshops and try to avoid large overlaps:
* EGPGV
* EuroVA
Note that workshops remain extremely well attended, but as new associated events and publication formats are introduced to EuroVis, the number of submitted papers may drop from previous years. So, a more interactive format (rather than one based mainly on presentations of submitted papers) is encouraged.
Submission requirements
Workshop proposals should include:
* a title,
* the contact details of the organizers,
* a brief description of the organizers’ background, related publications, and research,
* the planned activities (e.g., mainly talks, mainly interactive sessions, a mix), including an outline schedule for the program—workshops are strongly encouraged, though not required, to consider ways to engage all participants interactively,
* the intended result and impact of the workshop,
* a brief justification for why this workshop is necessary (e.g., why would the topic benefit from a more informal setting, in what ways is the topic emergent or a relatively poor fit for the main conference program, etc.),
* a chosen measure for a successful CFP (e.g., number of submissions), possibly including an outline for a “backup policy” (e.g., changing the workshop format or voluntarily withdrawing the workshop before acceptance notification is sent, but should not require the workshop organizers to submit emergency papers to their own workshop),
* a statement of the organization and the development of the list of participants (intended size, detailed selection procedures, and timeline for finalizing workshop presenters),
* a list of any special technology needed,
* the number of poster slots requested, if the workshop intends to feature posters, and
* the proposed dates for the call for participation, author notification, and camera-ready deadlines (author notification must be before the early registration deadline for EuroVis; for inclusion of materials in the EG digital library and/or the downloadable proceedings, the camera-ready deadline must be 4 weeks prior to the conference).
Because the number of workshop time slots is limited, half-day workshop proposals are strongly encouraged. However, well-justified full-day proposals will also be considered. Full-day proposals may optionally state what changes would be implemented to allow the workshop schedule to fit within a half day.
If the proposed workshop is a follow-up of a previous workshop, please include a critical reflection of the prior workshop(s), including a discussion of the results and evidence of impact.
The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please use the template file from https://www.eurovis2025.lu/fileadmin/files/egPublStyle-EuroVis_full-short-s…
Attendance
At least one author for each paper must register and attend the conference in person.
Evaluation criteria
The workshops aim to include various topics and a healthy mix of new and recurring events. Repeat submissions will be partially judged by the previous workshop's success. Workshop success will be judged subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be considered. Specifically, the workshop proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
* The potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research,
* The degree to which the workshop provides a more interactive environment for participants—all things being equal, preference will be given to workshops that emphasize participant interaction,
* The coherence of the proposed topic and the degree to which it would benefit from a workshop environment,
* The ability to attract people and make them excited about the workshop,
* The appropriateness with respect to EuroVis topics,
* If this workshop has special needs, the feasibility of the proposed plan, including financial, logistics, scheduling, and coordination impact, is also important.
The workshop chairs will balance the proposed topics to support the diversity of topics within EuroVis and complement the main program.
Organizers should consider what steps they will take to encourage diverse participants in their workshop (e.g., a balance of experience, background, gender, etc.) to make participation as inclusive as possible.
If accepted, workshops are required to prepare a short summary (50–100 words) for the workshop website and the web program.
Workshop Support
The workshop organizers will receive the following support from the EuroVis conference:
* One complimentary 1-day registration for an invited speaker,
* Room and AV support suitable for around 50 attendees,
* Food and beverages for attendees: coffee breaks throughout the day, Sunday evening opening reception, space in the poster display area, if requested (from a limited pool set aside for standard workshops; available space depends on the specifics of the venue; early requests given priority over late requests),
* PCS (Precision Conference Solutions) support for managing submissions and the review process,
* EuroGraphics Digital Library publication of the workshop proceedings, if requested (considered archival).
Note that each workshop participant will need to register to attend the EuroVis conference.
Workshop Chairs
* Alfie Abdul-Rahman, King's College London
* Guido Reina, Universität Stuttgart

Because the number of workshop time slots is limited, half-day workshop proposals are strongly encouraged. However, well-justified full-day proposals will also be considered. Full-day proposals may optionally state what changes would be implemented to allow the workshop schedule to fit within a half day.
If the proposed workshop is a follow-up of a previous workshop, please include a critical reflection of the prior workshop(s), including a discussion of the results and evidence of impact.
The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please use the template file from https://www.eurovis2025.lu/fileadmin/files/egPublStyle-EuroVis_full-short-s…
Attendance
At least one author for each paper must register and attend the conference in person.
Evaluation criteria
The workshops aim to include various topics and a healthy mix of new and recurring events. Repeat submissions will be partially judged by the previous workshop's success. Workshop success will be judged subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be considered. Specifically, the workshop proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria:
* The potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research,
* The degree to which the workshop provides a more interactive environment for participants—all things being equal, preference will be given to workshops that emphasize participant interaction,
* The coherence of the proposed topic and the degree to which it would benefit from a workshop environment,
* The ability to attract people and make them excited about the workshop,
* The appropriateness with respect to EuroVis topics,
* If this workshop has special needs, the feasibility of the proposed plan, including financial, logistics, scheduling, and coordination impact, is also important.
The workshop chairs will balance the proposed topics to support the diversity of topics within EuroVis and complement the main program.
Organizers should consider what steps they will take to encourage diverse participants in their workshop (e.g., a balance of experience, background, gender, etc.) to make participation as inclusive as possible.
If accepted, workshops are required to prepare a short summary (50–100 words) for the workshop website and the web program.
Workshop Support
The workshop organizers will receive the following support from the EuroVis conference:
* One complimentary 1-day registration for an invited speaker,
* Room and AV support suitable for around 50 attendees,
* Food and beverages for attendees: coffee breaks throughout the day, Sunday evening opening reception, space in the poster display area, if requested (from a limited pool set aside for standard workshops; available space depends on the specifics of the venue; early requests given priority over late requests),
* PCS (Precision Conference Solutions) support for managing submissions and the review process,
* EuroGraphics Digital Library publication of the workshop proceedings, if requested (considered archival).
Note that each workshop participant will need to register to attend the EuroVis conference.
Workshop Chairs
* Alfie Abdul-Rahman, King's College London
* Guido Reina, Universität Stuttgart
