Throughout Europe there is a growing awareness of the needs of our most able individuals; in recent years increasing interest in this area of child development has generated new forms of practice in education, numerous research programmes and studies, a growth in the number of societies for parents of highly able children and, indeed, a growth in concern for highly able people of all ages.
The European Talent Support Network is a continuously transforming and developing system, with the European Talent Centres that are its hubs and the so-called European Talent Points being nodes acting as equal members. It was officially founded on 29 September 2015, in the Brussels European Parliament building, in the presence of senior EU officials and MEPs.

It is a program aimed at both gifted students and their families, which is implemented from October to June each year, with a comprehensive approach, giving great relevance to socio-affective aspects. Thus, during the first trimester self-knowledge is addressed, in the second, interaction with others and in the third, teamwork. In the 15 years that it has been in operation, it has served nearly 200 families.
