        CGE'06 the 2006 Workshop on Computer Graphics Education:
      "Defining an International Curriculum in Computer Graphics"
 
                  September 9, 2006, Vienna, Austria
              Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics
 

We invite you to participate in the 2006 edition of the Computer
Graphics Education Workshop. Our aim is to define an international
curriculum in Computer Graphics which respects the Bologna
requirements (EU) and reflects the international nature of the
computer graphics education workshops to date.
This one-day workshop will be held in conjunction with the
Eurographics 2006 conference in Vienna, Austria. This workshop will
continue the sequence of computer graphics education workshops over
the last few years. These workshops and links to their reports are:
 
 - 1999 Coimbra:

 - 2002 Bristol: http://www.siggraph.org/education/bristol/bristol.htm
 - 2004 Hangzhou:
   http://www.siggraph.org/symposia/reports/Rep2004CGEworkshop.pdf
 
We welcome the participation of persons interested in and committed to
computer graphics education. Participation will be on the basis of
accepted position papers. Each position paper should:
 
 - be two to four pages long (standard single-spaced text),
 - have a single author,
 - describe the author's view on or experience with a topic that fits
   the theme of the workshop,
 - be submitted electronically, to one of the workshop co-chairs,
   before April 28, 2006.
 
They will be reviewed by the workshop's organizing committee and
additional reviewers as needed, and invitations are expected to be
extended by June 9, 2006. We expect to limit the number of
participants to 30-40.
The workshop will include lunch, coffee breaks, and there will be a
registration fee of 40 Euros to cover the expenses for these.
We encourage anyone interested in the workshop to consider attending
the education programme at the Eurographics 06 conference whose
announcement is at
