What are the contribution opportunities for the KT Colloquium?
A contribution for the KT Colloquium can be structured according to two levels of maturity:
A. Research idea / concept (maturity level I)
B. Research result (maturity level II)
The research idea or concept (A.) is based on an outline with a maximum length of two pages. This outline should include a brief summary for the Book of Abstracts, a problem statement outlining the significance of the research proposal, a focused state of the art/science, and a specific approach to solving the problem.
Research Results (B.) are submitted as an abstract with a maximum length of two pages aswell. This contribution option is specifically aimed at doctoral students who are about to present their disputation or who want to present a completed research project. Also in the case of research results, only the abstracts are taken for the Book of Abstracts. If the paper is to be submitted to the journal Konstruktion for the review process after the KT Colloquium, this should be noted when registering for the KT Colloquium so that feedback can be as targeted as possible.
