“…Unfortunately, the prospects for funding a successor project to STEVIN are grim. In the Netherlands, consultation meetings with the NOTaS organisation have been held, 10 and in Flanders a round table meeting with some 40 players from the field [11]. A policy document sketching the outlines of a research programme in the area of the extraction of information from unstructured data (both textual and audiovisual) is available [2].…”

“…But any research programme in this top sector will cover multiple disciplines in which HLT must try to find its place. In Flanders, the situation is different but [11] also concludes that opportunities must be sought to embed HLT research in broader initiatives. One possibility is to focus research and development effort around an integrated demonstrator that requires research into and development of technology from multiple disciplines, HLT being one of them.…”

“…Some HLT organisations in the Netherlands are united in NOTaS but certainly not all. Though CLIF 11 unites the scientific HLT community in Flanders, [11] argues in favour of the creation of a structure that unites and promotes the whole HLT sector. 12 On the other hand, there are other developments that are directly relevant and make one more optimistic.…”

The preceding chapters have sketched the context of the STEVIN programme and detailed descriptions of some of the results of the scientific projects carried out in the STEVIN programme. In this chapter I will briefly and very globally describe the impact of the STEVIN programme as a whole to human language technology (HLT) for the Dutch language in the Low Countries (cf. Sect. 22.2). In Sect. 22.3 I will identify a number of research data and topics that are, despite the STEVIN programme, still insufficiently covered but needed. Here I will also take into account international developments in the field of HLT that are relevant in this context. In Sect. 22.4, I identify recent international trends with regard to HLT programmes, assess the position of the Dutch language, and the prospects for funding of programmes and projects that are natural successors to the STEVIN programme. I also make some suggestions to government administrations for future policy actions. In Sect. 22.5, I summarise the major conclusions of this chapter. 22.2 Results of the STEVIN Programme In this section we briefly and globally discuss the results of the STEVIN programme and its impact on HLT for the Dutch language in the Low Countries. More details about the results of the STEVIN programme can be found in Chap. 1, page 1. It is clear from this book that the main objectives of the STEVIN programme have been achieved. Firstly, an effective digital language infrastructure for Dutch, J. Odijk () UiL-OTS,
