The permanent evolution of NLP


... is one of the ECNLP goals! If NLP shall continue to be the central platform for the most efficient tools
for intra- and interpersonal communication, it is vital that it remain open for integration of both excellent enhancements and new developments originating from within NLP as well as from other schools
for communication and personality development (see also NLP-PEP) .
