Laureates of Computer Science and Mathematics Meet the Next Generation

For one week each September, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) brings together promising young researchers with recipients of the most prestigious awards in computing and mathematics. This high-profile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in an informal atmosphere, and is fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration. Modeled after the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, recipients of the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the ACM Prize in Computing, the Abel Prize, the Fields Medal, and the Nevanlinna Prize engage in a cross-generational scientific dialogue with up to 200 young researchers in Heidelberg, Germany.
