The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2026 will take place from July 1st to July 3rd, in Bordeaux, France. This 37th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on Rendering.

This year, EGSR again features two paper submission tracks: the Research Track and the Industry/Positions Track.



==================================================================

Research Track

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



All accepted research papers will be presented at EGSR 2026 and archived in the Eurographics digital library, as either conference papers, or journal papers published in an issue of the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF). Similar to the paper classification process employed by SIGGRAPH and SIGGRAPH Asia, there is no limit to the number of accepted research papers that will be given journal paper status. For each submission, the reviewers will independently determine the type of publication based on the magnitude of the contribution, and the thoroughness of the evaluation. There is no fixed minimum or maximum paper length. However, length must be proportional to contribution, and submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases.



We are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and image synthesis in computer graphics and related fields, such as human perception, mixed and augmented reality, machine learning, and computational photography and imaging.



For each submitted research paper, a minimum of four reviews will be provided to the authors, who will then be able to provide a rebuttal to clarify misunderstandings and answer the reviewers’ questions. The reviewers will then discuss and decide on acceptance to the EGSR 2026 program. In the event of acceptance, the authors will submit a revised version of their manuscript prior to the conference. For each accepted research paper, at least one author must register and present the paper in person.

==================================================================

Industry/Position Papers Track

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



EGSR 2026 includes an Industry/Positions Papers Track that features invited papers from our colleagues in industry that are on topics of interest to the general rendering community. One goal of this track is to provide an accessible venue for getting out ideas that have found practical use in industry and could impact the future of rendering research, but might not meet the standards of scientific evaluation expected in formal research papers. These papers will be curated by the paper co-chairs and will be presented in the conference alongside the research papers. We are looking for papers that present ideas in and applications of rendering (both off-line and real-time), as well as other aspects of image synthesis (e.g., image-based rendering, rendering for AR/VR, machine learning for rendering).



Topics for possible Industry/Position papers include, but are not limited to:

- Position papers that provide a different perspective, broader view, or scholarly synthesis of a field of research

- Position papers that pose interesting problems found in industry rendering applications that should be more emphasized in academic research

- Novel rendering ideas that are interesting and already successfully used in practice but might not be developed to the point of a formal research paper

- Extensions or twists on existing rendering algorithms that have been found to produce better results in practice

- A description of a state-of-the-art rendering pipeline or software/hardware system

- A new dataset that would facilitate research in rendering



Papers accepted in this track will be published in the Eurographics Digital Library for archival purposes and presented at EGSR 2026. For each paper, at least one author must register and present the paper in person. Instructions for submitting your work to the Industry Track will be public soon.
