On the occasion of its 25th anniversary, Eurographics
has decided to establish the Eurographics Awards Programme.
The goal of the Programme is to recognize, highlight, and
promote computer graphics research in Europe.
The Eurographics Awards Programme recognizes individuals
who have significantly advanced the field of computer
graphics. Each year, the awards are presented at the
opening ceremony of the annual Eurographics conference.
The founding members of the awards committee are
Pere Brunet (Spain), Markus Gross (Switzerland),
Roberto Scopigno (Italy), Hans-Peter Seidel (Germany),
and Francois Sillion (France). The committee is chaired
by Hans-Peter Seidel. Committee membership is on a
rotating basis with an average term of five years.
Eurographics currently presents three awards: The
Distinguished Career Award, the Outstanding Technical
Contributions Award, and the Young Researcher Award.
Nominations: Members may nominate individuals for the
three award categories by contacting the awards chair,
Hans-Peter Seidel.
The Distinguished Career Award
Description
The Distinguished Career award is given every other year to a professional
in computer graphics who has made outstanding technical contributions to the
field and has shaped computer graphics in Europe, e.g., by building an
internationally leading group, by creating a school of young researchers,
by establishing the field in a certain country, or by advancing the
field within a certain research organization. The intended age group
for this award is about 45 - 55 years.
The Outstanding Technical Contributions Award is given each year to an
individual in computer graphics to highlight some outstanding technical
achievement. The intended age group for this award is about 35 - 45 years.
The Young Researcher Award is given each year to two young researchers
in the field who have already made a significant contribution. The intent
of this award is to recognize people early on in their career who have
already made a notable contribution and are likely to make more. The
intended age group for this award is about 25-35 years.
