5 Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Although the process of establishing a new European Master programme in Language Technology was really very complicated, time consuming and painful, there are definitely already at this stage very positive results.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In order to submit a proposal, our consortium has managed to overcome all formal and structural differences among all partners, it has found a reasonable model of cooperation, it has developed a high-quality master programme open both to European and non-EU students.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The wide variety of modules and topics offered combined with a relatively high degree of freedom of choice for students allows for individual pairs of partner universities to promote those courses and fields in which they excel. The students are of course offered individual guidance from consortium members in order to allow them to identify that pair of universities which best suits their individual needs and preferences  The strategy we have chosen - the initial cooperation of a smaller consortium in the LATER project, promoting LTC education among the students from outside the EU and testing our ability both to offer a coordinated high-quality education and to attract a reasonable amount of interested students, has turned to be a sound one. It also helped to solve some issues in the larger consortium based on the experience from the smaller one.</Paragraph>
