Program

We accepted 22 full papers presenting novel research results on Visual Computing in Biology and Medicine.

The conference is framed by two satellite events taking place on September 3rd at the same location as VCBM: VisBio 2014 and FG-Medvis meeting. Both events are open to the public and free of charge!

The full program, including abstracts of the papers presented, can be viewed and downloaded here (PDF, 6.25 MB).
