Centro de Computação Gráfica (CCG) was founded in 1993 and established at University of Minho in 2001, as a private and nonprofit research, development, training and consulting association, integrated in the Portuguese Scientific System.

CCG dedicates its activity to applied research and development, in the fields of computer graphics, information, communication and Electronic technologies, as well as to their application at national and international level.
At CCG we believe in the economic value of knowledge as a way to achieve a better society. Therefore, we act autonomously or in networks, as an “interface” between sources of knowledge (Universities) and economy (companies), based on strategic partnerships – through projects and services – with knowledge transfer.

The CCG through its connection to the network GraphicsMedia.net (www.graphicsmedia.net), as strategic partner is in a privileged position to access to the latest technological innovations worldwide.

CCG has a wide experience regarding development and implementation of projects. Its activity is targeted to the following areas of applied research:
_CVIG: Computer Vision, Interaction and Graphics
_EPMQ: Engineering Process Maturity and Quality
_PIU: Perception, Interaction and Usability
_UMC: Urban and Mobile Computing
