of Walter Daelemans's invited talk is also included in this volume. The final workshop was held in Naples on the 7th of December 2016 as a co-located event of the Third Italian Conference on Computational Linguistics (CLiC-it 2016, http: //clic-it2016.dieti.unina.it/). During the workshop, organisers and participants, affiliated both to academic institutions and industrial companies, disseminated the results of the evaluation and the details of the developed systems through oral and poster presentations. We thank all the people and institutions involved in the organisation of the tasks, and all participating teams, who contributed to the success of the event. A special thank is also due to AILC, which is for the first time the official mother of EVALITA. We are especially grateful to AILC not only for its support during the whole of the campaign's organisation, but also for having financially contributed to data creation for the SENTIPOLC task, by funding the crowdsourcing experiment. Thanks are also due to AI*IA and AISV for endorsing EVALITA, and to FBK for making the web platform available once more for this edition (http://www.evalita.it). Last but not least, we heartily thank our invited speaker, Walter Daelemans from the University of Antwerp, Belgium, for agreeing to share his expertise on key topics of EVALITA 2016.
