Short Description

The fifth European Academic Colloquium (EAC) on Technical Communication took place in Antwerp, Belgium on April 28, 2017. A specific topic of interest that year was Content Strategy, which “plans for the creation, delivery and governance of useful, usable content”, according to Kristina Halvorson, the author of “Content Strategy for the Web” (2012). This volume will keep you up to date on the latest trends in the field.

About the book

Continuing the fruitful mission of previous editions of EAC, the fifth EAC succeeded in bringing together almost 30 scholars from 9 European countries and the USA who share a common interest in the interdisciplinary field of technical communication.

A specific topic of interest that year was Content Strategy. This volume contains five expert contributions, covering a topic range from content analysis and content models through user-centered design and accessibility of content to translation strategies for scientific and technical texts. The reader will discover that both common challenges and creative solutions emerge from very diverse settings.
