Call for STARs


The State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) track at the Eurographics conference is a prestigious and integral component of the event, dedicated to providing comprehensive surveys on current and emerging topics in computer graphics. These reports synthesize recent advancements, significant research findings, and future directions in various subfields. STARs reports have a significant impact on the community, as evidenced by their high number of citations.

Topics

We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS and particularly encourage STARs on subjects not covered in recent editions. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multidisciplinary areas are also highly encouraged. Additionally, a STAR can address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in different scientific disciplines or industrial practices. A list of recent STARs can be found on the websites of recent editions of the EUROGRAPHICS conference, such as those for 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Reviewing Process

Accepted STARs are published in a special issue of the Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of the Computer Graphics Forum.

Submission Format

We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the authors’ short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey papers. STARs must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines and submitted as anonymous papers.

How to Submit

Electronic submissions of STARs are mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management System. Papers must be written in English and prepared according to this year’s template, which can be downloaded from the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system.

If Accepted

At EUROGRAPHICS 2025, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow the presentation.

arXiv Policy

Please refer to the Eurographics 2025 arXiv Policy.

Double Submission Policy

By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Full Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection.

In-Person Presentation Policy

Please consider our new in-person presentation policy.
