Call for Papers:

We cordially invite you to submit your research papers to the fifth edition of
the European Academic Colloquium on Technical Communication Studies that will
take place at the KU Leuven, campus Sint-Andries Antwerpen, on April 28 2017.

Continuing the successful mission of previous editions of the European
Academic Colloquium (EAC), the fifth EAC aims to bring together scholars and
practitioners who share a common interest in the interdisciplinary field of
technical communication. The EAC provides an international platform for you to
present project reports, educational articles, empirical results of research
projects and scholarly discussions on all topics related to technical
communication and associated research areas.

A specific topic of interest of the 2017 conference is Content Strategy. We
therefore especially invite contributions that take a research perspective on
how to create and maintain content that is smart, useful and usable. During
the conference, participants can discover how universities and colleges deal
with content strategy. They will share new insights, theory, and best
practices in implementing a content strategy. These include making content
smarter as well as adopting effective techniques for organizing and executing
the creation of meaningful, flexible content. We are looking for project
reports, educational articles, empirical research results and scholarly
discussions on all the topics related to technical communication or similar
research areas.

Your paper will appear in the European academic journal “Proceedings of the
European Colloquium on Technical Communication Studies”, published by Europe’s
largest professional association for technical communication.

To apply as a speaker at the colloquium, please send us an abstract of your
paper (up to 500 words). All selected papers will be announced on the
colloquium website with a pitch (no more than 200 words), a bio (up to 100
words) and a picture of you. Please make sure not to include your personal
details on the abstract itself, as we are selecting papers through an
anonymous review process.

All papers must be in English.

Deadline for submission: please send your proposals by email to eac at tekom.eu
by November 15, 2016. Notification of acceptance or rejection of the abstract
will be sent to all authors in the week before December 25, 2016 at the
latest.
