The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the unique opportunity to interact with the laureates of the most prestigious prizes in the fields of mathematics and computer science. Traditionally, the recipients of the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the ACM Prize in Computing, the Fields Medal, the IMU Abacus Medal and the Nevanlinna Prize engage in cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers in Heidelberg (Germany).
The application period for the 12th HLF runs from 11. November 2024 until 11. February 2025. Young researchers at all phases of their careers are encouraged to complete and submit their applications online.
The 12th HLF will take place from 14. - 19. September 2025 (with young researcher registration taking place on 13.09.2024). The event combines scientific, social and outreach activities. Laureate lectures and discussions as well as various interactive program elements are some of the Forum's fundamental elements, which are delivered in an environment that provides the space and time for unfettered exchange among attendees.
The HLF is organized by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), which was established and is funded by the German Klaus Tschira Stiftung. The scientific partners of the HLF are the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) and Heidelberg University. The HLF is strongly supported by the award-granting institutions: the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the International Mathematical Union (IMU) and the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA).
