Warwick's New Gifted Organisation Launches Competition
Warwick has now formally launched the first pilot programme within its International Gateway for Gifted Youth, to be known as IGGY. There is a launch competition where the prize will involve 12 young people being chosen to visit a number of countries to undertake a project. The competition closes in May 2008. Warwick refuses to rule out running a residential summer school in 2008, even though the first IGGY Summer School is not due to launch until 2009. All NAGTY members can have automatic entry to IGGY and its online services are expected to start within the next few months.

Famous quotes containing the words organisation and/or competition:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
“So long as the system of competition in the production and exchange of the means of life goes on, the degradation of the arts will go on; and if that system is to last for ever, then art is doomed, and will surely die; that is to say, civilization will die.”
—William Morris (1834–1896)
