Computer Graphics activities started at the Institute of Technology in Plzen, a predecessor of the University of West Bohemia, in 1975. After the changes in 1989, when the East block was dissolved, it was understood that it is necessary to widen the collaboration in all fields of Computer Graphics and in research in general. It was decided to establish regular events that would bring experts from the former Czechoslovakia together. The WSCG event started as the Winter School of Computer Graphics with about 20 participants from the former Czechoslovakia, currently Czech and Slovak Republics. It was held in December 1992 in a small village close to the Germany border at the university training center Rybniky. The participants met in the period when the Czechoslovakia was to be split to two countries in January next year.
