:::: In order to assure highest quality demands, we have implemented selection criteria for membership for achieving the association's aims ::::


Definition
"High Potential"

We strongly want to emphasize the difference between our definition of High Potentials and empirical-analytical calculations. The biggest difference occurs in the interpretation of the notion "high potential" because we are not strictly determining that this potential already has to be totally developed to classify young people with this category.

Usually, our members come from pre-selected channels (competitions, projects etc.) that distinguish our members through motivation and achievements. Particularly, young people with a strong desire for success and challenge as well as an international approach are invited to membership by the High Potential Network.

We are attaching great importance to an individual point of view of every single person, based on differences in culture and education-specific backgrounds. Already at this early stage of the network, we have members from more than 40 different countries!

Nevertheless, the application runs through a selection-scheme. Basically, the following areas are considered before approving the application:

  • achievements at school, university
  • non-formal education
  • extra-curricular activities
  • international experience
  • additional qualifications
