10 Years of Collaboration Between the Center for Gifted Education and Centre for Talented Youth-Ireland
Since 2011, two centers dedicated to serving individuals with gifts and talents – one in the US and one in Ireland – have collaborated in research with Irish educators, parents, and the students attending CTYI.
A full report of the 10 years of research with students was published in June, 2022. The report, entitled Irish Gifted Students: Self, Social, and Academic Explorations, includes a wealth of information about the students’ psychology and their social and experiences.

Using the research, a resource guide was developed in 2023 to provide information that can be practically applied by students, parents, teachers, counselors, and policy makers.
