Abstract
In this Strategic Research Agenda META-NET recommends setting up a large, multi-year programme on language technologies to build the technological foundations for a truly multilingual Europe. We suggest to concentrate future efforts in this field on three priority research themes: Tran lingual Cloud; Social Intelligence and e-Participation; Socially-Aware Interactive Assistants. We also suggest to concentrate on two additional themes. On the one hand there is the overarching issue of researching and further developing core language resources and base technologies that are needed by the three priority themes and that, for many of Europe’s languages, do not exist yet. On the other, we recommend to design and to implement the European Language Technology Platform as a means to collect and to offer all language technology-related applications and services, designed and built in Europe for the European citizen.
