Eurographics Symposium on Rendering
The 31st edition of Eurographics Symposium on Rendering returns once again (after 19 years!) to London, and will be held from June 30th to July 2nd, 2020. The main venue for EGSR 2020 is the South Kensington campus of Imperial College London (right next to multiple Museums, Royal Albert Hall, and Hyde Park), and it will be jointly organized by the Realistic Graphics and Imaging group at Imperial College and the Virtual Environments and Computer Graphics group at University College London (UCL). As part of the joint organization, an evening social event will be hosted at UCL on June 30th. EGSR will be preceded by the 8th annual Workshop on Material Appearance Modeling (MAM) on June 29th. We look forward to welcoming you to London!
