<p class="font-thin leading-snug text-justify text-black">From 18-21 October 2021, Expo2020 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates host the World Giftedness Center International Conference. The World Giftedness Center officially launched during the conference as an initiative by the Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation. The conference brought together world-renowned researchers and practitioners from across several countries. While scholars showcased cutting-edge research findings from the fields of gifted education and talent development, practitioners responsible for the implementation of excellent giftedness initiatives demonstrated best practice examples. Among researchers and practitioners alike, the event facilitated an exchange of ideas and experiences through both meaningful discussions, and via a diversity of workshops concerned with the most pressing topics in gifted education and talent development.</p>

<p class="px-8 mt-12 font-thin leading-relaxed text-justify text-black sm:px-20">The launch of the World Giftedness Center (WGC) is one of the unique initiatives of Hamdan Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation for Distinguished Academic Performance (HF). The WGC aims to provide worldwide support and services to the community of gifted education. It seeks to promote and disseminate the culture of excellence globally. Specifically, it strives to trigger a worldwide effort to help individuals enhance their talents as high as they can. The long-term objective of the WGC is to establish an interactive platform to serve the international community in nurturing students&rsquo; talents. An example of its several initiatives in this regard is the offering of global awards. Generally, HF has been offering educational awards since the year of 1998. Since then, HF&rsquo;s different awards have undergone significant developments and growths at the local, regional, and international levels. In 2008, for example, HF inaugurated the UNESCO-Hamdan Prize to support and enhance best practices in teaching and learning at an international level. In line with these continuous efforts and commitments towards the enhancement of quality gifted education around the world, the WGC has initiated two more specialized awards: School Global Award Initiative of Gifted Education and Applied Research Global Award of Gifted Education. The launch of these awards is one of the sole initiatives of the WGC to support and encourage distinguished efforts in gifted education and talent development. The main goal of these awards is to encourage and support global efforts to develop and promote best practices within the field of giftedness. Generally, these awards aim to stimulate excellence, creativity, and innovation in gifted education. In the first place, the WGC aims from these offerings to spread the culture of excellence and assume a pioneering role in the provision of services and support to all those involved in nurturing learners&rsquo; talents. Briefly, these awards intend to encourage continuous endeavors and efforts to create a better learning environment for the gifted.</p>
