The conference is hosted by the International Centre for the Study of Giftedness (ICBF). We look forward to a stimulating dialogue and challenging discussions focusing on the needs and demands of gifted individuals in the different stages of life (early childhood, school life, professional education). We are certain that the numerous international and highly acclaimed speakers devoted to the research and practice of giftedness have an exciting and diverse programme to offer you.
