Preparations for the 5th Heidelberg Laureate Forum are underway!

The HLF offers all accepted young researchers the great opportunity to personally interact with the laureates of the most prestigious prizes in the fields of mathematics and computer science.

The 5th HLF will take place from September 24 to 29, 2017 (with young researcher registration on September 23). The application period for the 5th HLF runs from November 14, 2016 until February 14, 2017. Young researchers at all phases of their careers (undergrad, PhD or postdoc) are encouraged to complete and submit their applications by February 14 (midnight at the dateline) via the following link: http://application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org

This prominent, versatile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in an informal atmosphere, fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration. Laureate lectures, young researcher workshops and a structure welcoming unfettered discussions are the elements that compose the Forum's platform. The 4th HLF attracted young researchers from over 50 nations to participate.

Over the course of the week-long HLF, young researchers will be given the exclusive possibility to profoundly connect with their scientific role models and find out how the laureates made it to the top of their fields. As described by a young researcher at the 4th HLF, "Attending the 4th Heidelberg Laureate Forum has been a profoundly enriching experience. I was also very impressed with how well organized the Forum was."

All completed and submitted applications are meticulously reviewed by an international committee of expert mathematicians and computer scientists to ensure that only the most qualified candidates are invited. There are 100 spaces available for each discipline of mathematics and computer science. All applicants will be notified by the end of April 2017 whether or not they will be invited.
