Tutorials

Eurographics 2008, the 29th annual conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics, invites international experts to present half day or full day tutorials providing in-depth knowledge and sharing their experience on a variety of topics in computer graphics and related areas.

Proposed tutorials may address topics of interest to the Computer Graphics community at large, such as (but not limited to) Imaging and Rendering techniques, 3D user interfaces, interaction methods and methodologies, modelling and simulation, Virtual Reality, Mixed Reality, Augmented Reality, high performance graphics, computer graphics over high speed networks and others. Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously addressed; however, new approaches or insights will be especially valued.

Tutorial topics will be presented in a taught format, ranging from practical guidelines to academic issues and theory, and may be addressed to an audience at an introductory or advanced level.

Each group of speakers will receive:
  • An honorarium of €400 for a full day tutorial or €200 for a half day tutorial, per group. If a tutorial is presented by more than one lecturer, this payment will be divided pro-rata between them.
  • One free registration for the conference and one complimentary ticket for conference events, per group. If more than one person gives the tutorial, only one free registration and one free ticket for conference events are provided.
All tutorial lecturers are allowed to attend other tutorials at no extra charge, subject to space being available.
