Each <b class="">EG2019 Think Tank </b>is intended to promote discussion around emerging topics challenges in Computer Graphics, welcoming ideas that arise from the cross-fertilization among different fields such as Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Geometric Modelling, Virtual & Augmented Reality, CAD. Topics for a Think Tank session can also be suggested by Application of Computer Graphics to Engineering, Bio-Medicine, Art, etc.<b class=""><u class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></u></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 14pt; text-align: justify; background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="font-size: 10pt;">Think Tank sessions will be organized as a panel session of one-hour, during which the proposer will be asked to give an introduction to the theme, followed by a panel/brainstorming session with the audience. The EG2019 Think Tank proposer must coordinate, and participate to, his/her session if accepted. International research and experts in academia and industry will present their ongoing research activities and results, open problems, trends, sub-areas, and applications in different research areas that could raise interests and discussion in the audience.
