We are happy to announce that the annual Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (EG VCBM) will take place as a 3-day lunch-to-lunch workshop in Norrk\u00f6ping, Sweden on September 20\u201322, 2023<\/strong>! We are planning an on-site event. <\/strong>In addition, there will be the VCBM Summer school on September 19<\/strong> targeted towards people new to visualization and visual computing in biology and medicine. We are looking forward to seeing all of you in person!<\/p>\n

EG VCBM addresses the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human-computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next-generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare, and the biotechnology sector.<\/p>\n

All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) will focus on a well-defined biological\/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. We are looking forward to your exciting submissions and will look forward to welcome you in Norrk\u00f6ping.<\/p>\n

In Memoriam Nigel John<\/h1>\n

October 2023<\/h4>\n

With great sadness we had to learn that Nigel John passed away suddenly
\non the 14th of October, 2023. Nigel was a respected and well-known
\nbiomedical computing researcher, and a valued member of the VCBM
\ncommunity. In September 2015, Nigel organized the 5th Eurographics
\nWorkshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine (VCBM) in Chester,
\nan event which left many positive and long-lasting impressions, not only
\nbecause of the excellent scientific program and the impressive
\nbiomedical research efforts Nigel and his team showcased, but especially
\ndue to the personal touch, which Nigel gave the event through the social
\nprograms and the city tour he has organized with his wife Shirley.
\nNigel also spawned the idea to invent a Eurographics Medical Price<\/q>, an
\naward of great importance for our community. We remember his positive
\nand enthusiastic nature as well as his valuable contributions to the
\nVCBM community with great gratitude. Our sincere condolences and our
\nbest wishes go out to his family in these difficult times.<\/p>\n
