Eurographics’2021, the 42nd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics, took place during May 3 − 7, 2021. It is organized by the Research Unit of Computer Graphics at TU Wien. Eurographics’2021 is a unique platform for the computer graphics community to showcase latest techniques and educational work, and to explore new trends and ideas.

It was planned to host Eurographics’2021 in Vienna, Austria. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 crisis destroyed this  hope and so Eurographics’2021 was organized as a purely virtual event. Contact restrictions and travel warnings did not allow for a “normal” conference. We are very sorry for all who were looking forward to visiting Vienna, and even more important meeting their colleagues and friends in person.

However, we tried to make Eurographics’2021 as exciting as possible. The virtual format has some advantages for some (no traveling, no accommodation costs, no separation from partners, etc.), and we did our best to provide you with a high-quality and socially valuable conference.
