The Conference

We would be pleased and honoured to welcome you in Münster, Germany, to the 13th International ECHA Conference on Giftedness across the Lifespan. The conference is hosted by the International Centre for the Study of Giftedness (ICBF). We are looking forward to a stimulating dialogue and challenging discussions focusing on the different needs and demands of gifted individuals in each particular period of their 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 will offer you an exciting and diverse programme.

The 13th ECHA Conference Giftedness across the Lifespan opens on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 with the keynote of Prof. Nicolas Colangelo, University of Iowa, USA.

In total there will be more than 100 lectures, symposia and workshops. As participants we expect researchers and students from diverse countries just as practitioners, i.e. teachers, psychologists, nursery-school-teachers and interested parents.
