The prospects for future advances in understanding the chemical evolution of the Magellanic Clouds is reviewed on the basis of results presented at IAU Symposium #148. These are divided into three areas, the metallicity - age relationships, the current abundance set, and the theory of the chemical evolution of the Clouds.
