tekom-Membership & tekom-Terminology Circle

We have been members of tekom for 5 years and have been giving lectures at tekom conferences for over 15 years.

We believe that tekom is the driver for innovations in the field of technical documentation in Germany. As such, we are involved with tekom in working groups such as the tekom Terminology Circle.

The tekom working group “Terminology of Technical Communication”  consists of a group of people who actively work with terminology in their respective companies. These members work together on a basic set of technical communication terminology and have already released more than 100 relevant terms. Next up is to involve the tekom members in terminology work: soon, proposals for expanding the terminology database will be submitted, which will then be reviewed, approved and released by the group of experts at the TTK working group.
