KT-Kolloquium 2025

The KT Colloquium 2025 will take place from October 7 to October 9, 2025 at the University of Bayreuth. As a further development of the previous events, the KT Colloquium will be organized as explained below:

What is the KT-Kolloquium?

The KT Colloquium is intended to serve as an exchange platform for doctoral students, former employees and organizers, thus promoting joint research activities and cross-communication between the participating institutes. Doctoral students 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 skills in the areas of publishing and presenting as well as learning about non-project topics. Networking at employee 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 at the companies. The KT Colloquium has had a very friendly character for years. This should be further developed and the network should be linked even more closely together.

How are the contributions to the KT Colloquium published?

The publication of conference proceedings will be waived. A book of abstracts will be sent to all participants of the event in digital form. The rights to the publication remain with the author, so that the contribution can be further developed based on feedback from the audience and published in a different way. If a peer-reviewed publication is desired, the article can be submitted to the journal “Konstruktion” for one of the next issues following the KT colloquium. The expert opinion of the KT colloquium will be fully considered in the subsequent review process. The journal “Konstruktion” has a circulation of approx. 55,000 and is listed on Scopus.
