Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2025
(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.
The order of the prizes will be announced at the Awarding Ceremony at
EuroVis 2025.

Call
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and
Life Sciences 2025 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 2025 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 2025, which means that at
least one author of each winning team must register and attend, to present
the results.
