Members of all Vision Groups

The Vision Groups are a central instrument within META-NET. Vision Groups meet twice a year to generate domain-specific visions and roadmaps in the form of technology forecasts. The groups were assembled in an effort to cluster the relevant and most promising European Language Technology-related industry sectors into reasonably sized working groups.
