COMPUTER GRAPHICS INTERNATIONAL, CGI 2026

University of the Arts London, London, U.K., July 06 - 10, 2026

Website: https://www.cgs-network.org/cgi26

Submission: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cgi2026

Please choose “CGI 2026 - TVCJ/LNCS/CAVW” track

CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer Graphics in the world. Half a century of influence places the CGI as one of the top conferences on computer graphics, visualization, and media. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and present novel achievements in various fields of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, AI, Media, Virtual and Mixed Reality. Previous recent CGI conferences have been held in Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015), Heraklion, Greece (2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), and Calgary, Canada (2019). CGI was virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID pandemic, and was held in Shanghai, China (2023), Geneva, Switzerland (2024), and Hong Kong, China (2025).

This year, CGI 2026 is organized by Bournemouth University & University of the Arts London, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). The Visual Computer Journal, published by Springer Nature, is the official journal of the Computer Graphics Society.

You are invited to submit your full papers to CGI 2026 via EasyChair. As in previous years, CGI 2026 papers can be submitted for possible publication in The Visual Computer journal, the CAVW journal, and CGI Conference Proceedings (LNCS, Springer).

Submission Guidelines

The accepted papers from this round Call for Papers will be included either in the CGI Conference Proceedings published by LNCS, Springer, or in the CAVW Journal (Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds, SCI-indexed) published by Wiley, or in TVC Journal (The Visual Computer, SCI-indexed, JCR: Q2, IF: 2.9) published by Springer Nature.

Note that for ALL submissions, the review process is double blind, which requires the paper and all supplemental materials to be anonymous. Ensure that self-referencing is anonymous (refer to your full name rather than “I” or “we”). Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgements (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material (e.g., titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection without review.
