About the book

This annual conference is organized by tekom Europe and targeted at European scholars in the field of technical communication and its related disciplines, such as translation, multilingual communication, localization, terminology, and information management. Since 2011, the European Academic Colloquium on Technical Communication Studies (EAC) has served as a significant venue for the dissemination and sharing of technical communication research and practices in a European context.

The EAC 2014 program and the contents of these proceedings show a diversity of research and practices, drawing on processes of content, language and design, and reflecting further progress in understanding and analyzing these processes. The contributions address diverse aspects that range from examining writing rules, searching for domain-specific information, and improving technical communication through corpus-based terminology to technical communication education including qualifying competencies, job profiles, and curriculum development.
