While, until the 2000s, provision programmes predominantly focused on extracurricular activities for pupils, gifted education now follows a systemic and inclusive approach, including all (educational) institutions – kindergarten, school, college and university – as well as the family, the economy, the working world and the community. Furthermore, there have been considerable efforts to provide for gifted children within the regular classroom by way of differentiation and individualised learning. This new approach to talent support was first outlined in 2011 in the“White Paper Promoting Talent and Excellence”, which the Austrian Research and Support Centre for the Gifted and Talented published in cooperation with the interministerial Giftedness Research and Gifted Education Task Force.  \nThe present article outlines the reasons that led to this new strategy, explains its main features and attempts an analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.  \nKeywords: Austria, gifted education, holistic, systemic, talent support  \n1 Austrian Research and Support Centre for the Gifted and Talented (Österreichisches Zentrum für Begabtenförderung und Begabungsforschung – ÖZBF), Salzburg, Austria; [claudia.resch@oezbf.at](claudia.resch@oezbf.at)  \nNacionalne politike in strategije za podporo nadarjenimin talentiranim v Avstriji  \nClaudia Resch  \n• V zadnjih dvajsetih letih se je podpora nadarjenim in talentiranimotrokom ter mladim zelo spremenila. Medtem ko so bili do leta 2000 programi za učence večinoma usmerjeni v zunajkurikularne dejavnosti, je zdaj pristop pri izobraževanju nadarjenih sistematičen in inkluzivnousmerjen. Vanj so vključene vse (izobraževalne) ustanove – vrtci, šole, srednje šole in univerze – pa tudi družina, gospodarstvo, zaposlovanje in skupnost. Veliko dela je bilo vloženega v to, da se nadarjenim učencem zagotovi podpora v rednih razredih prek diferenciranega in individualiziranega učenja. Ta novi pristop podpore talentiranim je bil prvič poudarjen leta 2011 v »White Paper Promoting Talent and Excellence«[Bela knjiga o spodbujanju talentov in odličnosti], ki jo je avstrijski Center za raziskovanje in spodbujanje nadarjenih in talentiranih izdal v sodelovanju z medresorsko skupino »Giftedness Research and Gifted Education Task Force«. V prispevku so navedeni razlogi, ki so vodili dooblikovanja nove strategije, razložene so glavne značilnosti, predstavljena pa je tudi analiza prednosti in slabosti sistema.  \nKljučne besede: Avstrija, izobraževanje nadarjenih, celostna insistematična podpora talentiranim  \nThe development of gifted and talented provision in Austria – from separative measures to a holistic and systemic approach  \nSince the mid 1990s, the issue of gifted and talented provision2 has become increasingly important in education policy in Austria. Especially over the past five years, politicians and other important stakeholders (economists, researchers, etc.) have focused on this topic, and the interest of the media has been growing. However, this has not always been the case. In the 1980s, gifted and talented education was still highly controversial in Austria. Three reasons can be assumed for this opposition:  \n1. Due to the Nazi regime, which propagated the training of an elite (in the worst sense possible), the term “elite” had a severely negative connotation. After World War II, gifted education was believed to support this elitist thinking, and was therefore strongly opposed (Ziegler & Stoeger, 2007) .  \n2. A commonly held belief and prevailing view of the public was (and sometimes still is) that gifted children and adults do not need any further support measures, simply due to the fact that they are already gifted and able to perform well by themselves.
