                <p>State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an
                  up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special
                  topic of current interest related to Computer
                  Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics
                  relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage
                  STARs on topics that have not been covered in any
                  recent edition. STAR reports on cross-sectional,
                  multi-disciplinary areas are also highly welcomed. A
                  STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics
                  techniques in a different scientific discipline or in
                  industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR
                  topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital
                  library. A <a
                    href="https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars"

                    href="https://sites.google.com/site/drminchen/cgf-info/cgf-stars"
                    moz-do-not-send="true">here</a>.</p>
                <p>Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue
                  of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before
                  the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal status of the
                  proceedings requires a two-stage review process with
                  conditional acceptance after the first round and final
                  acceptance based on the revised submissions.
                  Submissions needing a major revision will be
                  transferred to the standard submission track of
                  Computer Graphics Forum.</p>
                <p>At EUROGRAPHICS’2021, the authors of a STAR will be
                  given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that
                  allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow
                  the presentation.</p>
