The document discusses Ghent's policies and responses to irregular migrants. It notes that as of 2013, there were 2,443 medical cards issued to irregular migrants by the city's Public Social Welfare organization. Ghent aims to balance a policy of solidarity and integration with one of enforcement against abuse. The city has established various administrative bodies like a Permanent Consultation Committee and Integration Service to coordinate services for migrants and enhance social cohesion. The Info Point Migration provides legal information and translations to over 7,000 individuals annually from 140 nationalities. Neighborhood stewards help address complaints and act as bridges between agencies and new EU citizens.

C4 Cross border support for cross border victims: a knowledge sharing experimentVSE 2016
(Sonja Leferink, Slachtofferhulp Nederland)
This workshop session (90 minutes) is meant as an introduction to the effectiveness and also the fun of knowledge sharing sessions by addressing an urgent topic that needs a cross border strategy: support for cross border victims.
According to the EU directive, member States are obliged to provide non-residents with the same rights and provisions as nationals after victimisation. There is a European helpline for victims but it is operated in only a few countries. There is no structure or procedure in place to ensure that non-resident victims (such as tourists) receive information, support and compensation after having returned to their home country.
During this workshop we will identify the most urgent problems concerning the cross border support of victims. By applying simple but effective methods we will draw up a series of possible solutions that will be relatively easy and cheap to implement.
We want to finish by drafting a proposal for the Executive Board of the VSE for improving cross-border victim support by offering our analysis and solutions.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
