32nd Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry
Queens College, City University of New York
Welcome to FWCG 2025
The 32nd Annual Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry brings together leading researchers to explore the latest advances in algorithmic geometry, geometric data structures, and computational applications across diverse fields including computer graphics, robotics, and spatial analysis.
Important Dates
The program runs from 9AM Friday through 6PM Saturday, featuring invited talks, contributed presentations, and collaborative discussions.

Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit abstracts (up to 4 pages) for contributed talks to be given at the workshop. Submission is via EasyChair. We encourage submissions of full paper drafts (if available) along with the abstract. Because there are no formal proceedings for the workshop, submission of material that is to be submitted to (or to appear in) a refereed conference (e.g., SODA'2026, SoCG'2026) is allowed and encouraged. Please indicate clearly with the submission if the work has already been presented/accepted elsewhere.
Contributed talk abstracts, due by Friday, September 26, will be reviewed by the program committee, with notification by Friday, October 10.

History
This series of Fall Workshops on Computational Geometry was originally founded in 1991 under the sponsorship of the Mathematical Sciences Institute (MSI) at Stony Brook, with funding from the U. S. Army Research Office providing support during 1991-1995. It continued during 1996-1999 under the sponsorship of the Center for Geometric Computing, a collaborative center of Brown, Duke, and Johns Hopkins Universities, also funded by the U.S. Army Research Office. The workshop returned in 2000 to Stony Brook for its tenth year, and then was hosted at Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY in 2001. The twelfth workshop (2002) was part of the Special Focus on Computational Geometry and Applications at DIMACS, while the thirteenth (2003) was part of the the Mathematical Foundation of Geometric Algorithms, as part of the Special Semester on Computational Geometry at Mathematical Sciences Research Institute, Berkeley. The fourteenth through twenty-seventh workshops were hosted at MIT (2004), the University of Pennsylvania (2005), Smith College (2006), IBM T.J. Watson Research Center (2007), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2008), Tufts University (2009), Stony Brook University (2010), CCNY (2011), University of Maryland (2012), CCNY (2013), University of Connecticut (2014), University at Buffalo (2015), the CUNY Graduate Center (2016), and Stony Brook University (2017), respectively. In 2018, we are pleased to host the 28th Fall Workshop on Computational Geometry at Queens College, CUNY.
