Voices from Germany

Harrington"Germany, in general, focuses on long-term outcomes: and this is crucial for basic research which is well supported by various funding organisations. Another advantage is that there are excellent opportunities for building bridges between basic and applied research, thanks as well to industry's support of research in this country. Long may all this continue!"

Jonathan Harrington (UK) is a Professor of Phonetics and Speech Processing and Director of the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich.
