Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) has been a Eurographics supported event since 1983, when the first instance took place 28-29 March 1983 at University of York.
The exciting and vibrant field of visual computing is an increasingly important research area due to its wide range of applications in many disciplines. In general, our ability to collect, store, and archive data vastly exceeds our ability derive useful knowledge and insight from it. This is a ubiquitous problem. Visual computing plays a key role in gaining an understanding large, complex data sets or phenomena by exploiting the human visual system. Visual computing leverages computer graphics to provide sophisticated interactive visualisation through which we can explore and analyse data sets that capture complex phenomena, understand them fully and explain them with clarity.
The objective of CGVC is to foster greater exchange between visual computing researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers and industry partners in the UK, Europe, and abroad to enter this rapidly growing area of research. CGVC has an expanded scope to include all areas of visual computing, and a steadily more wide-spread visibility that achieves a more wide-spread impact.

Organisation
Founded in 1981, EGUK is the UK branch of Eurographics, a world-wide organisation devoted to the needs of professionals in computer graphics and all related visual disciplines. Membership of the UK Chapter comes from being an EG member living in the UK.
The EGUK chapter organises an annual conference in the UK. This UK conference had been held in June, however since Eurographics moved to the Easter timeslot, we have moved the conference to early September. The UK Chapter also occasionally organises one-day events. These events are on a smaller scale than the main Eurographics Workshops organised around Europe.
