[Tobias Isenberg]

The 27th EG Conference on Visualization (EuroVis) 2025 invites proposals 
for panels and tutorials.

EuroVis will be held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, June 2--6, 2025.

*PANELS*

Panels at EuroVis should address current and controversial topics 
relevant to the conference participants. In particular, we invite panels 
that spark discussions about issues that are either often overlooked or 
only now emerging. To that end, panels should strive to present and 
debate a wide array of diverging opinions and perspectives on a current 
topic in visualization.

Panel topics could, for example,
* address cross-cutting issues in visualization (e.g., reproducibility 
or teaching);
* give a voice to everyday users and readers of visualization (e.g., 
data scientists or business analysts);
* cast a light on societal aspects of visualization (e.g., accessibility 
or inclusion);
* discuss the pros and cons of different visualization career paths.

Panelists should be experts in their fields who bring a unique, 
refreshing, or rarely heard point of view to the panel discussion and 
who can engage the audience and each other in a lively scholarly debate.
Panels at EuroVis 2025 will have a format of a 90-minute-long moderated 
discussion among panelists, also allowing for interaction with the 
conference attendees. Long opening statements are discouraged. We 
further recommend that the panel organizer/moderator is not one of the 
panel members.

Panel proposals should not only describe the topic but also address ways 
to achieve a controversial discussion, how to limit self-presentations, 
and how to integrate the audience. For more details, see the Submission 
Guidelines below.

*TUTORIALS*

Tutorials are an excellent opportunity to offer training on newly 
emerging topics in the field of visualization, e.g., on visualization 
tools, technologies, and methods. It is expected that tutorials will 
address an audience with a varied range of interests and backgrounds: 
beginners, developers, designers, researchers, practitioners, users, and 
lecturers.

We invite tutorials that include, for example,
* cross-cutting topics in visualization research and practice (e.g., 
using color or conducting user studies)
* topics bridging multiple areas (e.g., mobile visualization or 
interaction design for visualization);
* applications of visualization in various domains and to various forms 
of data;
* themes outside of the standard visualization curriculum (e.g., eye 
tracking or immersive visualization);
* cutting-edge tools and technologies in visualization (e.g., the use of 
LLM and image synthesis for datavis).

Tutorial speakers should be experts in their fields who can combine 
theoretical foundations and practical hands-on examples into a 
high-quality in-depth learning experience.

Tutorials at EuroVis 2025 will have a format of 180 minutes with a 
coffee break in between. The structure of the tutorials is flexible and 
should orient itself on the tutorial contents. We recommend a mix of 
presentation techniques like quizzes, practical exercises, and Q&A to 
engage the participants and create a lively atmosphere.

Tutorial proposals should not only describe the topic but also address 
ways to achieve an engaging setting for learning that encourages 
questions and discussions, how to limit the share of frontal 
lecture-style instruction, and how to provide learning paths and 
pointers for further self-study after the tutorial. For more details, 
see the Submission Guidelines below.

*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*

Proposals should be approx. 3 pages, and they should be submitted via 
PCS at https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions.
Choose “Make a new submission to” -> “Eurographics” -> “EuroVis 2025” ->

On Overleaf this template can be imported easily by selecting “New 
Project” -> “Upload Project” and then uploading the zip file. Use the 
included file EGauthorGuidelines-eurovis25-panelstutorials.tex as the 
main template for your submission.

Accepted panels and tutorials are required to prepare a short abstract 
for the conference program.

All proposals should include:
* Title and Abstract
* Intended Audience: background knowledge, career stage, subdomain of 
visualization if applicable
* Description of the topic: motivation, relevance to the EuroVis 
conference, aspects to be covered
* Description of the organization: proposed structure, time allocation, 
materials provided
* List of potential panelists / Bios of tutorial speakers
* Previous Editions: if the panel/tutorial was conducted before, where 
and when was it conducted?
* Equipment needed to run the panel/tutorial

*SELECTION CRITERIA*

Proposals for panels and tutorials will be evaluated based on the 
following criteria:
* Fit within the scope of the EuroVis 2025 conference
* Qualification of the panel organizer/tutorial speaker
* Likely attendance of the panel/tutorial
* Timeliness of the topic
* Diversity of the panel/tutorial speaker lineup in terms of 
nationality, institution, gender, visualization background, and career stage
