Support for CVCS 2020 event from the IKTPLUSS initiative Colour and Visual Computing Symposium 2020 (CVCS 2020)

The 10th Colour and Visual Computing Symposium 2020 (CVCS 2020) will take place in Gjøvik at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Norway, on 16-17 September 2020. This edition of the symposium follows up on the success achieved by the previous runs, of the biannual Gjøvik Colour Imaging Symposium (GCIS), from 2003 to 2011, and CVCS 2013, CVCS 2015, and CVCS 2018. The symposium has attracted a growing number of participants and provided a platform for fruitful discussions and exploration of recent theoretical advances and emerging practical applications of colour and visual information processing. The symposium has in the past attracted around 65 participants from all over the world. This year, we invited three keynote speakers for the symposium, Dr. Giorgio Trumpy, (Department of Film Studies, University of Zurich), Senior Associate Professor Abhijeet Ghosh (Department of Computing, Imperial College London) and Professor Eduardo Provenzi (Institute of Mathematics, University of Bordeaux). Although CVCS 2020 is partly sponsored by Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), we are not able to cover the remaining cost by registration fees only. Therefore, we apply to the Research Council of Norway for Support for Events from the IKTPLUSS initiative to support CVCS 2020.
