The Technische Universität Darmstadt, commonly known as TU Darmstadt, is a research university in the city of Darmstadt, Germany. It was founded in 1877 and received the right to award doctorates in 1899. In 1882, it was the first university in the world to set up a chair in electrical engineering. In 1883, the university founded the first faculty of electrical engineering and introduced the world's first degree course in electrical engineering. In 2004, it became the first German university to be declared as an autonomous university. TU Darmstadt has assumed a pioneering role in Germany. Computer science, electrical engineering, artificial intelligence, mechatronics, business informatics, political science and many more courses were introduced as scientific disciplines in Germany by Darmstadt faculty.
Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to the study of three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing.
The Heinz Maier-Leibnitz-Preis, in honor and memory of the German physicist Heinz Maier-Leibnitz, is funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, and it is awarded by a selection committee appointed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and the BMBF. Since 2013, there are ten recipients of the prize and each receives 20,000 Euros, which is an increase over the original 16,000 Euros that had been given to six recipients per year until 2012.
Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is an annual symposium hosted by the European Association For Computer Graphics (Eurographics). The goal of the symposium is to present and discuss new research ideas and results in geometry processing. The conference is geared toward the discussion of mathematical foundations and practical algorithms for the processing of complex geometric data sets, ranging from acquisition and editing all the way to animation, transmission and display. As such, it draws on many disciplines spanning pure and applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. The proceedings of SGP appear as a special issue of the Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the Eurographics Association. Since 2011, SGP has held a two-day "graduate school" preceding the conference, typically composed of workshop-style courses from subfield experts.
