IS&T and the Centre for Sensors, Instruments, and Systems Development (CD6) invite you to CGIV 2008, the 4th European Conference on Colour in Graphics, Imaging, and Vision, to be held at the School of Industrial Engineering of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) in Terrassa, Spain. The 10th International Symposium on Multispectral Colour Science (MCS’08) is collocated with this event.

CGIV 2008 covers a wide range of topics related to colour and visual information; MCS’08 reviews the current state of the art and addresses major challenges and future directions in multispectral colour science. The single-track structure of the conference encompasses technical areas that strike a balance between academia and industry, and provide ample opportunities for networking.

There were approximately 200 high-quality papers submitted to CGIV 2008 by researchers working in a broad range of colour-related fields from industry, academia, and national and international standards communities. After a diligent peer-review, the CGIV 2008 Organising and Technical Program Committees sessioned 45 oral and 84 interactive paper presentations in seven technical areas. Rounding out the conference are nine short courses—some of which have never been offered before—and an industry exhibit.

In addition to meeting with colleagues and hearing the latest research in a broad range of technical areas, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy the city of Terrassa, an industrial, Modernista gem. Social functions have been planned to allow participants to see more than just the university campus. After a complementary city tour that will take you tp the Mercat de la Independència and the Masia Freixa, the Welcome Reception will be held at the lovely Alegre de Sagrera, a former private residence and the pride of the Terrassa. On Wednesday, join colleagues for the Conference Banquet at the famous Museu de la Ciència i de la Tècnica de Catalunya (separate fee required).

CGIV 2008 promises to be an exciting week and we look forward to seeing you in Terrassa where many colourful attractions and experiences await!
