Our words of thanks also go to all the participants involved in the panel discussions, and all the other participants, whose presence made the organization of the conference a fruitful and worthwhile venture.
Throughout the Conference, the results of the Thematic Network Project in the Area of Languages III were summarized, new ideas were generated, new friendships and partnerships were formed, and everyone who attended learnt a great deal. We are proud of these accomplishments, and we hope you are as well.
We also hope that your stay in Poland, and Warsaw in particular, apart from giving you a glimpse into the country's changes and assets, was also a chance to enjoy the surroundings and relax after the concentration of the Conference.
You can find the photographs taken at the Conference in the Photo-Gallery Section.
We look forward to further cooperation at new projects, and to seeing you again at future events.

Project summary
It is now recognised everywhere across Europe that higher education needs to become more responsive to the needs of the economy, the labour market and society at large. This is particularly true in the area of languages where globalisation, European enlargement and technological advances have brought about rapid changes in the way language skills and intercultural skills are perceived by employers and other decision-makers.
The third Thematic Network Project in the Area of Languages III (TNP3, 2003-2006) brought together participants from over 60 Higher Education institutions and stakeholders from the world of business, government and other levels of the education system, to map out the current needs for foreign language and intercultural competences and skills in an enlarged Europe open to the world, and to work out how these needs could best be met by those training the high level language experts and language users of tomorrow.
