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.

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.
