A "lighter" lecture schedule allows more free time for visiting the Petnica Cave, exploring the Petnica Lake area, and enjoying the sun at the local swimming pool and recreation center. In the warm evenings students can enjoy outdoor movie projections, visits to the Petnica observatory, and occasional barbecues. The full capacity of the Science Center dormitories is booked, and many students come for daily visits to see their friends and join the field trips.

Petnica International Science School takes place alongside these summer courses, and some of the activities are organized for both PI and local Petnica students. PI students have a chance to see how student projects are conducted on a higher level (as a result of a yearly course), but they also have the opportunity to spend time with a colorful group of young people with various interests – and not only when it comes to science. Petnica students are known for their wide specter of interests, they are talented in sports, music, theatre, they enjoy movies and literature, and they are open for making friends with new people and finding out more about different cultures. They themselves come from different social, educational and religious backgrounds in Serbia, and they are interested in different areas of research, so they enjoy and value the cultural and scientific variety that Petnica has to offer.

28 July - 3 August 2013The Platon Youth Forum (Platon Jugend Forum) is a one-week international summer camp in the vicinity of Salzburg, organised jointly by the ECHA Österreich and the Department of Pedagogy of the Salzburg University. The role and goal of the Forum is to introduce 50 talented students from all over Europe to the diversity of Europe and to let them experience that it is possible to find similarities despite the differences and to help them develop a European citizen’s consciousness. The Forum is named after Plato, whose philosophy and methods of education form the basis of the programme. The VaKe (Values and Knowledge Education) model, created by professor Jean-Luc Patry, head of the Pedagogy Department of the Salzburg University, follows the teaching philosophy of Plato, so learning through dialogue, construction of reasoning systems, acquisition of advanced-level discussion techniques and opinion formation are the main strategies for acquiring new knowledge, so learning does not mean the passive absorption of information, but the active examination of new knowledge contents. The method strengthens the decision-making capacity of the participants, capacity through which young people can represent their own interests efficiently and, beyond the personal level, become capable of deciding on the economic, political and scientific issues of their country and place and judge such critical issues in the European context.

Devoted to this subject, we will organize an International Composition Competition, supported by the renowned Ensemble Acrobat. Furthermore there will be also, as previously, a vocal and instrumental Competition "Humor in Music" in each of the three master class periods; and, in the same context of ideas we will have a little symposium, including a Roundtable, under the direction of Siegfried Mauser. In connection with our "Composer in Residence 2013", the renowned Austrian composer Kurt Schwertsik, currently one of the most humorous of his profession, we hope that all these events will lead us to new discoveries and more knowledge and insight on the subject. Our wish is that the motto of "humor" should also influence several of our concert programs.

On the other hand we want to include some of the " regents of the year" into our planning of seminars and concerts: Wagner and Verdi of course, but also Britten, Hindemith, and the lesser known, but highly original and interesting French composer Charles Valentin Alkan, to whom we will dedicate a seminar and a faculty concert.

Last but not least we would like to point out our organ master class with the renowned organist Hannfried Lucke which will take place this summer in the famous Salzburg Franciscan church (with a baroque and a romantic organ), as well as our Department of Early Music in collaboration with the University of the Arts Bremen.

The tutors will offer coaching and workshops on all aspects of renaissance ensemble performance. Music will be provided, but you are also invited to bring your own sets of parts and scores if you wish. Join us as we explore why it was that great composers and musicians of his day came to study with Orlandus Lassus.

The goal of the course is to introduce students to theoretical models and technology related to all facets of (professional) interaction with information in an information seeking context. The topic ‘Information Foraging’ reflects the shift of attention in information retrieval research from static document statistics towards i) on-line systems that are designed for user interaction and ii) exploiting the collective information access behavior of communities of users. The course has been designed for master or PhD students in computer science, information science or artificial intelligence. It is assumed that students have some basic knowledge of information retrieval methods and models.

Our camps are integrated; the participants include(d) students in a disadvantageous or multiply disadvantageous situation.

Most camps ended the intensive 5-day period with presentations and shows. The participants of the “Music of the forest”, Fine Arts, Pop/Classical/World Music camps demonstrated their talents to a large audience.

The call Unlimited Chance affords possibility for talented youngsters to travel to different countries in order to take part in competitions, trainings, master courses, language courses. The programme gives financial support to participation fees, travel costs, accommodation, which costs can be too high for ordinary Hungarian families.

Controversy has surrounded definitions of giftedness and exceptional ability but the reality is that these students are neither as rare nor as easy to identify as is often supposed; exceptionally able or talented students form roughly 10% of the overall student population.

A comprehensive course of more than 20 hours duration, it tackles the myths surrounding giftedness and offers very practical strategies and skills for identifying students with advanced capabilities and talents and responding to their diverse educational needs. While most of the emphasis is on students with advanced academic abilities, the needs of students whose talents lie in other areas, such as those who may be creatively gifted, are also examined. The focus is broad and inclusive and is meant to encompass students with advanced abilities across a range of domains. Summarising current research and best practice and wide ranging in its scope, this course offers a sound foundation to anyone interested in the education of gifted and talented youngsters.

This course is aimed at teachers and others with a professional interest in Gifted and Talented education. It may also be helpful for parents who want more detailed information about the development and education of children and young people who are gifted and talented.

The program is geared for high school, college and young professionals and designed as an advanced training program for singers, pianists, and orchestral instrumentalists with emphasis on individual music enrichment and advancement as well as preparation given to qualified performers for careers in European countries. Exceptionally talented children and advanced amateurs are also encouraged to apply.

The focal point of the program is Chamber music. Students who are interested only in solo playing are not encouraged to apply.

Crazy About Biomedicine is a year-long course directed at students in their first year of baccalaureate, who wish to explore some of the exciting discoveries currently being made in the life sciences. Through this course, students will have a chance to deepen their knowledge of scientific theory and techniques in the field of biomedicine. They will work alongside our young researchers to get a taste for what doing science in a top international research institute is like, gain some hands-on experience in the latest cutting-edge methodologies, and position themselves for a potential career in the life sciences.

This conference will provide a programme with the highest calibre of keynote speakers, scholars, presenters and exhibitors. It brings leaders in gifted education together to share their knowledge, expertise and practices from many cultures.
