Welcome!
The KT Kolloquium 2022 will take place this year on 28.09. and 29.09.2022 in Clausthal-Zellerfeld. In further development of the previous events, the KT Kolloquium will now be organized as explained below:
How will the KT Kolloquium be organized in the future?
The KT Kolloquium will serve as an exchange platform for doctoral students, former staff members and organizers, thus promoting joint research activities and cross-cutting communication between the participating institutes. Doctoral students will receive honest feedback from other doctoral students, professors, experienced researchers and industry representatives, appropriate to the maturity of their work. The focus is on developing competencies in the areas of publishing and presenting as well as getting to know topics outside the project. Networking at staff level is intended to promote topic-related exchange and joint publications. As a platform for former employees of the institutes, they have the opportunity to maintain contact with the network and offer prospective doctoral students a practice-oriented insight into ongoing projects of the companies. The KT Kolloquium has had a very friendly character for years. This should be further developed and the network should be even more closely connected.
What has changed in comparison to the last few years?
Since the 2021 KT meeting, there have been some important changes that were positively evaluated in a participant survey:
- The publication of a conference volume is waived. A Book of Abstracts will be sent in digital form to all participants of the event. Upon request, the Book of Abstracts is also available in printed form. The rights to the publication remain with the author, so that the contribution can be further developed and published in another way, based on feedback from the auditorium. Accordingly, all submitted papers will no longer be peer-reviewed, as has been the practice in recent years. If peer-reviewed publication is desired, the paper can be submitted to the journal "Konstruktion" for review after the KT conference and then published in one of the next issues. If peer-reviewed publication is desired, the paper can be submitted to the journal "Konstruktion" for review after the KT meeting and then published in one of the next issues. The journal "Konstruktion" has a circulation of about 55,000 and is listed on Scopus.
