<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">(co-located with EuroVis 2025) June 2nd, 2025, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by
the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap workshop aims to shed light on this gap between research and practical applicability,
examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">VisGap’25 aims to gather experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software.
The scope of VisGap also includes reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance, ultimately fostering adoption in the wild. We also explicitly
solicit contributions about visualization systems and tools, and their employment in research and practice.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited
book, or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">*** NEW this year *** We solicit extended abstracts of up to 2 pages (plus an additional page for references). The abstracts can present research ideas, projects, opinions, or a collection of problems. All accepted abstracts
will be invited to give a lightning talk.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Papers and extended abstracts must be submitted through PCS (<a href="https://new.precisionconference.com/">https://new.precisionconference.com/</a>). All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review
process. Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'25 workshop to present
their work.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
