Venue:
Eurographics 2005 will take place on the campus of Trinity College Dublin, right in the heart of Dublin, the capital city of Ireland.
In 1592 a small group of Dublin citizens obtained a charter from Queen Elizabeth incorporating Trinity College juxta Dublin. The Corporation of Dublin granted to the new foundation the lands and dilapidated buildings of the monastery of All Hallows, lying about a quarter of a mile south-east of the city walls. Two years later a few Fellows and students began to work in the new College, which then consisted of one small square. During the next fifty years the community increased. Endowments, including considerable landed estates, were secured, new fellowships were founded, the books which formed the beginning of the great library were acquired, a curriculum was devised and statutes were framed.
In recent years student numbers have risen to over 15,000. The increase in numbers has brought greater diversity, with students coming from over 70 countries and spread over all six continents.
