This year, circumstances depending, EG GCH will be run in a hybrid format, organised by the University of Bournemouth, UK. This will allow those who are able to attend the conference in person to do so, while those that can't, especially if the pandemic is still raging at the time of the conference, will also not miss out on this exciting event. GCH 2021 welcomes presentations of new research, projects and applications that demonstrate how computer graphics and other digital technologies are impacting cultural heritage research, preservation and dissemination and promoting sustainable cultural tourism. Specific sessions will be organised for active networking to seek new challenges and projects involving different stakeholders of the Heritage ecosystem. Hence, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches are particularly welcome to the event. For the research community, GCH 2021 will provide, as always, an excellent scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and developments as well as to identify future research and application opportunities. For practitioners, GCH 2021 will provide a unique opportunity to feed into technical developments as well as to identify new techniques and ideas which can be transferred into practice. The event seeks different types of contributions including: 1. Research papers: original and innovative research (maximum 10 pages) 2. Short papers: update of ongoing research activities or projects (maximum 4 pages) 3. Posters: overview of activities or national/international interdisciplinary projects (500 words abstract) 4.
