Abstract and Paper (link)

The EuroVis Young Researcher Award is given each year to one young researcher in the field who has already made a significant contribution to visualization in general and more specifically to the European visualization community (e.g., through outstanding scientific contributions to the EuroVis conference). The intent of this award is to recognize people early on in their career who have already made a notable contribution and are likely to make more.

The EuroVis Best PhD Dissertation Award recognizes outstanding dissertations in academic research and development over topics relevant to visualization. The intent of this award is to recognize excellent young researchers in their early career and to highlight visualization research.

In recognition of his leadership and outstanding contributions in visualization, our own Professor Helwig Hauser is being awarded an Honorary Doctorate at the Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg in Germany on June 10, 2022.

Helwig studied at the TU Wien, where he received his PhD and Habilitation. He was Scientific Director of the VRVis Research Center in Vienna, until he joined the University of Bergen in 2007 to build up the visualization research environment here.

Each semester, TU Wien Informatics recognizes the most outstanding master students for their exceptional achievements in research.
