The International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence (ICAT 2018) and the Eurographics Symposium on Virtual Environments (EGVE 2018) are two of the oldest international conferences in the world on Artificial Reality and Virtual Environments, and provide a unique opportunity for researchers, developers, and users to share their experience and knowledge of Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality and 3D User Interfaces. ICAT-EGVE 2018 is a great opportunity to renew old friendships, make new ones, and experience all that Cyprus has to offer.

Limassol, a city counting centuries of history, is located between two of the most renowned ancient kingdoms of the island, Amathus at the east and Kourion at the west. "Lemessos" as it is called by locals, is one of the fastest growing modern metropolises in Europe, with the most distinct project being the Limassol Marina. The beautiful coastline now covers a 15 kilometers distance, lined with hotels and beach bars and cafes, interspersed with eucalyptus groves and linked by a promenade popular with walkers and joggers. For more information see hereICAT-EGVE 2018 is organized by the newly established RISE-Research Center on Interactive media, Smart systems and Emerging technologies which aims to become a Center of Excellence and a hub across the three continents bordering Cyprus, facilitating thus the local scientific, technological, and economic growth of the region. More information about the center can be found here.
