Funding of the International Center for Talent Research Foundation

The International Center for Talent Research Foundation continuously awards grants nationwide to promote talent research, talent development, as well as training and further education. Eligible to apply are educational institutions, public and non-profit organizations, as well as committed private individuals. In the fields of training & further education, education, research & innovation, and science, scientific projects are supported, among others, that investigate individual talents and learning competencies of children, adolescents, and adults. Additionally, the foundation funds measures for diagnostics and counseling, offers for the individual support of both high-achieving and learning-challenged participants, and special initiatives for socially disadvantaged children and youth. Furthermore, conferences and congresses can be applied for that advance professional exchange and raise awareness among policymakers and the public in the areas of talent research and development.

The foundation aims to support educational and research institutions as well as professionals in schools, universities, and educational institutions in the development and dissemination of innovative support concepts. Equal opportunity plays a central role: funding is available regardless of social status and financial means to all those interested in talent development. Since applications can be submitted at any time, projects can be flexibly aligned with individual support needs. Through the close integration of research, diagnostics, counseling, and practice, the foundation makes an important contribution to the sustainable development of individual potential and simultaneously strengthens professional expertise within the education and science system.
