April 24, 2026 A mérhető eredmények hiányoztak, az Élvonal nem lehet ATM – az Élvonal Alapítvány vezetői tisztázzák a sajtóban megjelent állításokat az NTA-val folytatott egyeztetésekről.

Az Élvonal Alapítvány megalakulása után párbeszédet kezdeményezett a magyarországi tehetséggondozás szereplőivel, köztük a Nemzeti Tudósképző Akadémiával. A párbeszédet egyeztetések követték, amelyek során a többször, bizonyíthatóan igényelt adatigényléseket a Nemzeti Tudósképző Akadémia (NTA) több felkérés ellenére sem teljesítette. Az egyeztetéseket az NTA egyoldalúan megszakította, így az Élvonal szándékai ellenére nem jöhetett létre megállapodás – hangzott el azon a háttérbeszélgetésen, amelyet Krausz Ferenc, az Élvonal Alapítvány kezdeményezője, és Madaras Markó, az alapítvány főigazgatója tartott április 24-én.
