For its seventh edition the conference will be held on November 12-13, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference will be held in a virtual forum using a video conferencing platform. It is our intention to retain as much of the conference programme as is practical, including all paper presentations and keynotes. The aim of STAG is the dissemination of research activities and novel ideas on both theoretical and application oriented aspects of Computer Graphics, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both national and international scientific communities to share their latest developments. Contributions on new ways to solve real problems, clever solutions to optimize or otherwise improve techniques and algorithms for real-world applications are encouraged. System, libraries, and workflow papers with impact on real-world applications are also welcome. We encourage submissions in all areas of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Visual Computing, and related disciplines. This year, we invite contributions in the form of full papers, and we will host, as usual, the EG-Italy thesis award ceremony. Papers will be included in the STAG proceedings, and published in the Eurographics Digital Library. For submission information please visit https://micc.unifi.it/stag2020/submission/ From all accepted papers, an international jury will assign the best paper award. Authors of a selection of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a Special Issue of the Computers & Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Important dates Papers submission: September 27, 2020 Notification: October 18, 2020 Camera Ready: October 25, 2020 Conference: November 12-13, 2020
