Call for Applications: Heidelberg Laureate Forum Seeks Young Researchers in Mathematics and Computer Science
Heidelberg, Germany - November 11, 2024 - The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation has opened applications for its prestigious 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), inviting young researchers from around the globe to apply for one of the 200 available spots. The event, set to take place from September 14 to 19, 2025, in Heidelberg, Germany, promises an exclusive week of networking, scientific exchange, and inspiration with the world's leading minds in mathematics and computer science.
The HLF serves as a unique platform where laureates of the most esteemed awards in these fields, including the Abel Prize, the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the Fields Medal, and others, engage directly with the next generation of scientists. This year's forum will continue its tradition of fostering cross-generational dialogue, offering participants a chance to interact with their scientific idols in an informal and intimate setting.
Applications are open from today until February 11, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. CET. Young researchers at all stages of their academic careers, from undergraduate to postdoctoral levels, are encouraged to apply. The selection process is rigorous, with an international committee of experts from the award-granting institutions evaluating each candidate to ensure only the most promising are selected.
"The HLF is not just an event; it's a catalyst for innovation and inspiration," said a participant from the 2022 forum. "It's where you get to network, collaborate, and leave with your mind buzzing with new ideas."
The forum will include laureate lectures, discussions, and numerous interactive sessions, all designed to spark scientific curiosity and foster connections. With 100 spots allocated to both mathematics and computer science researchers, the event aims to maintain a balance and diversity of expertise.
