Displays range from personal digital assitants to huge on-to-the-wall projection systems. Rapid advances in computer games are driving forces for bringing high-end graphics technology to consumer platforms. These applications and technologies add new content and perspectives to the future of computer graphcis and related interactive techniques. With this viewpoint in mind, "Challenges in Computer Graphics for the 21st Century was chosen as the theme for Eurographics 2001. With this overreaching theme, there are three sub-themes: - Visualization - Virtual Reality - Computer Games All present challenges and opportunities for researchers and practitioners in our field. Conference Topics: The Eurographics conference accepts papers from all areas related to the discipline of computer graphics, from hardware, through novel applications and algorithms, to human aspects of interaction with graphics, as well as artistic viewpoints. In support of the this years three sub-themes, we are especially encouraging content relating to visualization, virtual reality, and computer games. Full Papers: Authors are invited to submit original papers reporting research contributions, practice and experience, or novel applications. **-->> Paper submission deadline is: 14th February 2001. *** Short Presentations: Authors are invited to submit proposals for short presentation (ca. 10 minutes is allowed per selected submission) of late results, work-in-progress, and new ideas.Submissions should be 5 to 10 pages in length. **-->> Submission deadline is: 13th April, 2001. *** State of the Art Reports (STARs): State of the Art Reports (STARs) covering topics in research, practice, and applications, will be included in the conference programme. STARs are typically of 90 minutes duration and will be printed in a separate volume given to all conference participants. **-->> Proposals for STARs are invited by: 14th February, 2001. *** Tutorials: Tutorials on computer graphics topics, especially those pertaining to the three sub-themes are encouraged. Tutorial sessions will be held the first two days of the Eurographics 2001 Conference, 3rd - 4th September, 2001.
