THANK YOU

We would like to thank everyone for the success of the

13th International ECHA Conference "Giftedness Across the Lifespan ",
which took place at the University of Muenster from 12th to 15th September 2012!

In more than 500 presentations- from keynote addresses to poster presentations - resulted in an extensive and varied programme. Speakers presented their research results and reported experiences, new developments and approaches in order to discuss them with interested participants.

The pleasant atmosphere of the Conference, including a social programme and evening activities, led to a stimulating environment, fruitful exchanges among the participants and many new contacts being made.

We would like to thank our major partners, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, Bildung & Begabung, the Robert Bosch Foundation and Volkswagen AG. We would also like to thank our other partners: the Stiftung Bildung zur Förderung Hochbegabter, the Finanz Informatik, the City of Muenster, the Richard Pelz and Helga Pelz-Anfelder Foundation for Educational Research and Assistance as well as the ICBF Foundation.

We would also like to extend our thanks to all the participants and speakers for their contributions, their feedback and their active participation in making the conference such a success. As a reminder, we would like to share a video of the Conference here.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Muenster in 2015 for our 5th Bildungskongress!
