Meeting Description:

The European Academic Colloquium is an annual event that focuses on scientific
contents with respect to technical communication. It is targeted at members of
the European scientific community who are teaching and doing research in the
area of technical communication or related fields, such as translation,
multilingual communication, localization, terminology, information management.
A rather small, but focused audience of participants from different European
countries allows for a lively and diverse discussion and knowledge exchange. 

The colloquium is organized by tekom Europe, Europe's largest professional
association for technical communication. Tekom Europe aims at connecting
European scholars in Technical Communication studies and related fields. As a
professional association for Technical Communication we strongly emphasize
education and training as an important area of activity.

For the first time in 2016, the Colloquium was integrated into the Erasmus+
project TecCOMFrame. The project team would like to reach out to many more
stakeholders who would be interested to get involved. That is why the European
Academic Colloquium shall serve as a multiplier event, gathering opinions and
experiences from academics throughout Europe. 

The format of the event is a colloquium since we would like to enable the
exchange and interactive discussion between the participants. Therefore we
have limited the presentation time for each speaker to 15 - 20 minutes,
allowing for lively discussions following the presentation. We want to
encourage the exchange of knowledge and current developments among the
participants and provide them the opportunity to build up a European network.
