Young researchers are invited to apply for one of 200 coveted spots to participate in the 12th annual Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). The invitation is open to undergraduates, graduate students and recent PhDs of mathematics and computer science (and closely related fields).

The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the great opportunity to personally meet the winners of the most prestigious prizes in their fields. For one week, recipients of the ACM A.M. Turing Award and the ACM Prize in Computing, the Abel Prize, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal, and Nevanlinna Prize will engage in a cross-generational scientific dialogue with young researchers in Heidelberg, Germany.

The 12th HLF will take place September 14 – 19, 2025 . This prominent and versatile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in a unique atmosphere, and is fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration.

To be considered for participation, young researchers can either apply directly or be nominated by a colleague, professor, mentor, or manager. Applications must be submitted online by Tuesday, February 11, 2025, via the application page. You will need to enter ACM's organization code to complete the application process. Please email [email protected] to request this number.

Successful candidates will be selected by an international committee of experts to ensure that the most qualified candidates are invited. Those who are accepted will be notified by the end of April 2025.
