o6: the development of the eu talent support network-enrichment, openness, cooperation

at the moment, 14 european talent centres belong to the recently formed european talent support network, which, in the long run, can bring new dimensions to pan-european cooperation in supporting young talented people all over europe.  exchange and adaptation of best practices, spread and application of scientific results, possibilities of mutual visits of young talents, their teachers, mentors, parents and all the experts devoting their life to talent support can be all be expanded. a long process preceded the acceptance of the idea of this network and the initial documents on forming eu talents centres in 2014. the accreditation committee chosen by the european council for high ability worked for several months to put together the criteria of an eu talent centre. during their work lots of questions arose. in september 2015 the network began its operation and in november the call for being a european talent point was published as well. the presentation will focus on the background of the accreditation and possible results of the eu network thinking, the criteria of an eu talent centre and talent point will be also discussed.
