"It is imperative that language technologies for Slovene are developed systematically if we want Slovene to
flourish also in the future digital world."
— Dr. Danilo Türk (President of the Republic of Slovenia)
"For such small languages like Latvian keeping up with the ever increasing pace of time and technological
development is crucial. The only way to ensure future existence of our language is to provide its users with equal
opportunities as the users of larger languages enjoy. Therefore being on the forefront of modern technologies is
our opportunity."
— Valdis Dombrovskis (Prime Minister of Latvia)
"Europe's inherent multilingualism and our scientific expertise are the perfect prerequisites for significantly
advancing the challenge that language technology poses. META-NET opens up new opportunities for the
development of ubiquitous multilingual technologies."
— Prof. Dr. Annette Schavan (German Minister of Education and Research)
