About the Conference
Welcome to an exciting week at the Eurographics Conference in
Norrköping.
Coming to this years conference you will be met by murmuring water and gushing waterfalls surrounding the modern concert hall that holds the main venue. It is built from a paper mill with an industrial ancestry dating back to the 17th century and is built as a part of the main entrance to a historical industrial area in the middle of the city. The area now plays host to museums, modern industries and university buildings.
You will reach Norrköping when spring is well on the way with long, often sunny days. In the conference building, a high glass facade extends the full length of the entrance hall, more than 80 metres, making it a bright, beautiful area for the reception, poster session and coffee breaks. It faces onto a small green isle where you may have your coffee under the shade of tall trees surrounded by running water.
At the reception you will be served drinks and something to eat, and be given the opportunity to socialize with your fellow researchers and industrial exhibitors, while browsing and viewing the posters at the concurrent poster session.
On Wednesday evening we expect to end a day of interesting presentations with a spectacular show at the newly built interactive visualization dome. You will be visiting a building with industrial ancestry that has been recast into a beautiful combination of a museum, cinema, industrial meeting place, and research centre.
The conference dinner on Thursday evening will be held in a building where high windows, overhead cranes and a ceiling 30 metres above the floor bear witness to its industrial legacy. This former heating facility, still equipped with the cranes that were used for lifting coal from the river flowing outside, provides a magnificent backdrop and acoustics for the show that awaits you.
