We’re delighted to announce that Eudard Gröller was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award of the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Community (VGTC) at this year’s IEEE VIS conference!
The VGTC Lifetime Achievement Award honors researchers whose work has profoundly shaped the field over the course of their careers. It recognizes long-term impact—whether through groundbreaking research, fostering new ideas or collaborations, contributing to the community and education, providing mentorship, or advancing real-world applications. Receiving this award celebrates the lasting influence and depth of Eduard Gröller’s contributions, acknowledging his achievements and the enduring impact of his work throughout his career.
The IEEE Visualization Conference (VIS) is a premier annual event focused on scientific and information visualization, as well as visual analytics. Organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), VIS brings together leading experts to exchange the latest developments in the field. Widely regarded as the top conference for visualization research, this reputation is also reflected in its highly selective nature, with an acceptance rate of under 25% for submitted papers, further cementing its status as a platform for cutting-edge research.
Congratulations to Eduard Gröller on this extraordinary achievement!
