With the support of the SIF, the IG-RV GdR and the associations AFIG and EGFR have decided to propose an IG-RV thesis award. This prize's objective is to reward an excellent thesis from the IG-RV GdR community each year. Up to two accessits can also be awarded. The interest is twofold: for the young PhDs concerned, this prize will bring visibility to their work and a recognition of the GoR community for the excellence of the results. For the GdR community, this award will make the first-class work resulting from our research themes very widely visible.

The disciplinary scope of the award is that of the Geometric and Graphic Computing, Virtual Reality, and Visualization Group and its working groups. Each year, starting in 2017, the jury of the GdR thesis award will propose the winner and the two accessits to the steering committee of the GdR for validation.
