In 2006 a novel approach to talent support was promoted by several talent support programmes in Hungary. The new idea was a network approach. The nationwide network of so-called TalentPoints and its framework, the Hungarian Genius Program, gained substantial European Union funding in 2009, and today it is growing rapidly. A novel concept of talent is also used by the programme: it perceives everyone as potentially gifted. The Hungarian Genius Program organizes the festive events of Talent Days on regional, national and European levels, sets up Talent Support Councils and has introduced the Talent Loan programme.
