Call For Papers
CGI 2026 (Computer Graphics International) is a CCF C / CORE B / QUALIS B1 conference held in London, UK on 2026-07-06. The paper submission deadline is 2026-04-20. Acceptance notifications are sent on 2026-06-05.
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 and visualization. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and present novel achievements in Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, AI and Machine Learning, Media, as well as Virtual, Augmented and Extended Reality. Previous CGI conferences have been held around the globe including Bournemouth, UK (2012), Hannover, Germany(2013), Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015), Heraklion, Greece (2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), Calgary, Canada (2019), Shanghai, China (2023), and Geneva, Switzerland (2024), and Hongkong, China (2025). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID pandemic.
This year, CGI 2026 is organized by the National Centre for Computer Animation at Bournemouth University, co-hosted by the Creative Computing Institute at University of the Arts London, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS). The Visual Computer Journal (Springer Nature), the official journal of the Computer Graphics Society, is closely associated with the conference.
CGI 2026 will be held as a hybrid conference, allowing both onsite and remote participants to present their work, either in person or online, and to engage fully in the technical program.
CGI 2026 invites authors to submit their papers to two different tracks:
1. The first one, the CGI 2026 – The Visual Computer track, welcomes submissions aligned with the scope of The Visual Computer journal (see journal website https://link.springer.com/journal/371). Authors should first submit their full papers via EasyChair for CGI 2026. If conditionally accepted, the paper will then need to be submitted to The Visual Computer journal for final publication.
2. The second track welcomes papers that have broader computer graphics topics, which can be submitted via EasyChair. Accepted papers will be published in the CGI 2026 proceedings as a LNCS Springer book volume. Outstanding papers from this track will be invited for extended publication in The Visual Computer journal or Computer Animation and Virtual Worlds (Wiley) journal.
