EuroVis Early Career and Best PhD Awards

Posted in News

The nomination period for the EuroVis Early Career and Best PhD Awards is now open.

The EuroVis Early Career Award is given each year to one or two early-career researchers in the field, who have already made a significant contribution to visualization in general, and more specifically to the European visualization community (e.g., through outstanding scientific contributions to the EuroVis conference). 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.

We call members of the visualization research community to nominate individuals for the EuroVis Early Career Award by filling out the online form. The deadline for nominations is February, 28th 2023. Candidates to the EuroVis Early Career Award 2023 must have finished their PhD in 2017 or later*.

Questions regarding the early career award and the nomination process may be forwarded to the awards chair, Anders Ynnerman (eurovis-early-career-award@eg.org).


The EuroVis PhD Award recognizes outstanding dissertations in academic research and development covering topics relevant to visualization. The intent of this award is to recognize excellent young researchers in their early career and to highlight visualization research.

Aligned with the Eurographics PhD Award, the awardees of the EuroVis PhD Award will offered the opportunity to publish the state of the art section of their thesis as a STAR in the Computer Graphics Forum Journal.

Deadline for nominations is January 31, 2023. All dissertations by PhD researchers from the European visualization community (e.g., through contributions to the EuroVis conference) that were defended and awarded a doctoral degree between Jan 1, 2021 and Dec 31, 2022 are eligible for the 2023 competition. 

The PhD researcher’s advisor should email the nomination package to eurovis-phd-award@eg.org ; it should contain:

  • A nomination letter written by the advisor including the name, email address, CV and publication list of the candidate, the dates when the dissertation was defended and when the degree was awarded, and a one-page summary of the significance of the dissertation.
  • The PDF of the dissertation (or a download link).
