Conference theme

Talent Development for a New Era

Discover Possibilities, Change for the Better

“We live in an age marked by accelerating change. The rate of technological and scientific progress is paralleled by equally profound social and cultural development. To guide this change for the better, to lend it a human face, and to imbue it with a sense of kind restraint, we need our brightest minds at the helm. Yet, we must consistently and critically examine whether the current state of education allows for the development of potential talents in a way that benefits both the individual and society at large. To that end, this conference seeks to identify and also preserve the finest and most worthy means of talent development while at the same time, looking to the future of specialized education and talent pedagogy.”
