EuroVis 2011 is the 13th annual Visualization Symposium jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee.

Bergen is Norway's second largest city and the main center of life and business on the beautiful west coast of the country. The University of Bergen is a major part of the compact center of the city and students, residents, as well as a larger numbers of tourists enjoy the historic Hanse city during the long and light summer days. Within short time, the University of Bergen has built up a visualization research group (of about 15 researchers) at the Department of Informatics that is relating to several other important local research fields such as medicine, geosciences, marine life research, or climatology.

Visualization has become an increasingly important research area due to its wide range of applications in many disciplines. EuroVis is a Eurographics and IEEE co-supported international visualization symposium held in Europe annually since 1999. The objective is to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers in Europe to enter this rapidly growing area of research. EuroVis has an expanded scope to include all areas of visualization, and a steadily more wide-spread visibility that allows to achieve a more wide-spread impact.

EuroVis papers are published as a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the Eurographics Association, using a two-stage review process. Papers are at most 9 pages, excluding references, and at most 10 pages, including references.
