This symposium is the third of a series of similar events organised every
other year and alternating between Europe and South America. Its mission
is to foster  co-operation through joint projects and the exchange of
scholars, ideas and information between the Computer Graphics communities
in Spain, Portugal and Latin America. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series.
 
This symposium replaces this year's annual events of the Spanish and
Portuguese Chapters of Eurographics.

Venue
-----
Santiago de Compostela is mainly a monumental town, a stony miracle which
has been shaped around the Apostle St James's sepulchre along the
centuries, and which has resulted in one of the most splendid and harmonic
architectural ensembles in the world. Considered to be one of the three
spiritual capitals of Christendom together with Rome and Jerusalem, from
the Middle Ages it became the goal of religious pilgrimages, a phenomenon
that would give birth to the pilgrims' Road to Santiago, the real spine of
the art and the thought from which, as Goethe said, the idea of Europe
would be born.
 
The conference venue will be the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, at
the Escola Técnica Superior de Enxeñería (Rúa Lope Gómez de Marzoa,
15782-Santiago de Compostela)
 
Paper Submission
---------------
Submissions are invited as either a full paper of 6 to 10 pages (A4 paper)
for oral presentation or as a short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper).  The
papers must be written in English, although presentations can be delivered
in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The program committee, composed of
internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions.
