Call for Contributions
======================

42nd European Workshop on Computational Geometry (EuroCG 2026)
Organized as an event of the Computational Geometry Society

EuroCG 2026 will be held from March 25-27, 2026, in Hagen, Germany.  
EuroCG is an annual workshop that combines a strong scientific  
tradition with a friendly and informal atmosphere. The workshop is a  
forum where established researchers and students can meet, discuss  
their work, present their results, and establish scientific  
collaborations.

Topics of interest cover all aspects of computational geometry,  
including but not limited to the following:

- discrete and combinatorial geometry and topology,
- design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures,
- implementation and experimental evaluation of geometric algorithms,
- numerical and algebraic issues arising from implementations,
- analysis of geometric configurations,
- geometric modeling, visualization and simulation,
- combinatorial optimization,
- graph drawing,
- structural molecular biology,
- geometric puzzle analysis,
- applications of computational geometry,
- geographic information systems,
- robotics and virtual worlds, and
- computer-aided design and manufacturing.

Submission Guidelines
=====================

We invite authors to submit extended abstracts of their original  
research that has not been published before January 1, 2025, and has  
not been presented at a previous edition of EuroCG. If a submission  
consists of work that has been published already, the submission must  
provide the name of the respective conference or journal and the date  
of publication. The authors themselves are responsible for ensuring  
that they do not violate copyright laws. Already published work may  
receive fewer and less detailed reviews.

Submissions will be handled through EasyChair.

Each submission must not exceed 175 lines of text, excluding title,  
references, and appendix.

Submissions must be prepared with the LaTeX class files "euroCG26" and  
"eurocg26-submission", which are provided at the website  
(https://eurocg26.fernuni-hagen.de) and based on the LIPIcs class  
file. These class files should automatically count all lines  
containing text, excluding title and references, and excluding  
figures. Authors are expected to make a reasonable effort to make sure  
all lines that contain text are counted: the class file should be  
considered an aid, and the responsibility of correctly counting lines  
remains with the authors. A zip file containing an example of how to  
use the class file can be found at the website.

The main body (of 175 lines) should be self-contained and provide a  
clear and succinct description of the main results and an indication  
for their correctness. Content that does not fit in the main body due  
to space restrictions must be placed in a clearly marked appendix,  
which will only be read at the discretion of the program committee.  
These rules also apply to submissions concerning already published  
papers.

Submissions should contain names and affiliations of authors.

=================
Acceptance Policy
=================

EuroCG is a non-competitive forum and there is no competitive  
selection process. We will accept all submissions that are original,  
non-trivial, correct, well-presented, and in scope. Submissions must  
satisfy all five criteria. Failing to comply with any of these may  
lead to rejection.

In particular, a submission may be rejected
- if it does not contain original research by the authors, or if there  
is good reason to believe that this is the case, or
- if it contains a main result with an erroneous proof, or if the  
provided material is insufficient to establish the correctness of the  
results (however, acceptance at EuroCG does not guarantee  
correctness), or
- if it is unreadable, or does not follow the submission guidelines  
provided above.

===========
Proceedings
===========

EuroCG does not have formally reviewed proceedings. A booklet of  
abstracts, without an ISBN, will be accessible online on the website  
for the benefit of the community. It must be regarded as a collection  
of preprints rather than a formally reviewed selection of papers.  
Results presented at EuroCG are expected to appear (or have appeared)  
in other conferences with formal proceedings and/or in journals.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended  
version to a special issue of the Computing in Geometry and Topology  
(CGT) journal.

There will also be a vote for the Best Student Presentation Award.

=====================
Conference Attendance
=====================

EuroCG is dedicated to providing an environment that is free from  
harassment, bullying, discrimination, and retaliation for all  
participants. Following the decision made at EuroCG 2024  
(https://www.computational-geometry.org/eurocg/policies/), EuroCG is  
organized as an event of the CG Society  
(https://www.computational-geometry.org) and only members of the CG  
Society may attend EuroCG 2026. Society membership is free of charge.  
All members of the CG Society are bound by its Code of Conduct  
(https://computational-geometry.org/society/code-of-conduct/).

EuroCG is an in-person event and all presentations are expected to be  
given on site. At least one author of each accepted contribution must  
attend EuroCG (as a member of the CG Society) and present the work. If  
no author attends, the contribution may be removed from the program,  
the booklet of abstracts, and the conference website.
