Talent development has beneficial effects on the economies of individual nations, and of the European Union as a whole.
Talent support programmes may boost theself-esteem and social success of talented people.
Talent support is becoming important in the social-economic progress of underprivileged people groups.
Effective networking of groups facilitating talent development, as is now happening in Hungary, will be even more beneficial once extended across Europe.
EU TalentDay can help to focus the attention of stakeholders and the European general public, and seeks recognition of talents support benefits and of best practices by theEuropean Commission, theEuropean Council and theEuropean Parliament.[2]
