Moving forward stronger
Talent development or honors programs can play a crucial role in preparing talented students to handle the great challenges of our time. But exactly how can educational programs foster talent? How can teachers be equipped to help students reach their full potential? And how can honors students positively contribute to solving societal challenges?
In a world hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, these questions are more urgent than ever. The World of Talent 2021 international conference on Talent Development and Honors Education provides a platform for dialogue. We warmly welcome you ‘virtually’ to Groningen, the Netherlands from 16-18 June 2021

Contributions
Your contribution to the conference World of Talent 2021 is very welcome. There are two ways to contribute:
1. Request a Wild Card slot for a ‘live’ presentation/session. While most of the program is already set, we have reserved a few time slots in the conference for last minute additions. We call these ‘Wild card’ sessions. You can send in a proposal for a 15-minute, 30-minute or 45-minute session, based on the template provided. Different types of contributions, such as a presentation, discussion panel, workshop or other, will be considered. The deadline for proposals is May 30th. The conference team will notify you as soon as possible afterwards. Please see detailed instructions here.
2. Prepare a poster for the virtual poster session. In the conference’s online environment, we build a feature where posters can be shown. There is no need to send in your posters beforehand; the poster section will be opened during the conference and you can upload it
yourself. The form of the poster is free, but please be aware that people view your poster on a computer screen. You are asked to upload in the form of a pdf file not larger than 5 MB.
