We are pleased to invite you to submit your contribution to Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics (STAG) 2026!

STAG 2026 (https://www.stag-conference.org) is an annual international conference organized by the Italian Chapter of the Eurographics Association. The 2026 edition will be held in Catania, Italy, on November 19-20, 2026, and organized by the University of Catania.

STAG provides a forum for discussing novel ideas and results in Computer Graphics, Geometric Modeling, and Visual Computing. We welcome papers addressing both theoretical and application-oriented aspects of research, as well as papers describing datasets, open libraries, tools, and scientific software. STAG also encourages interdisciplinary research across fields such as Computer Graphics, Geometry Processing, Computer Vision, and Human-Computer Interaction.

The conference will also feature a co-located PhD School (16-17-18 November 2026) as well as a Hackathon session (15 November 2026). Details will be available on the website soon.

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research papers, dataset papers, and software papers. Papers must not exceed 10 pages in length, excluding references.

Research papers are expected to propose innovative mathematical theories and computational techniques in the fields of Computer Graphics, Geometric Modeling, Computer Vision, Human-Computer Interaction, and related disciplines.
Dataset papers should provide, document, and discuss new, larger, and/or more challenging datasets, or datasets that stimulate new challenges in either Computer Graphics or Computer Vision.
Software papers should describe and discuss innovative scientific software and/or open libraries. Upon acceptance, the source code must be released under an open-source license via a public Git repository.

Submissions should be formatted according to the EG Digital Library style guidelines. We strongly recommend using the official LaTeX template to format the paper (here). Submitted papers will undergo a double-blind reviewing process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous.

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of the EG Italian Chapter Conference STAG, published in the Eurographics Digital Library. The authors of selected top-quality papers presented at the conference will receive invitations to submit extended versions of their work to Special Sections in prestigious academic journals, including Computers & Graphics (Elsevier) and Graphical Models (Elsevier).
