Prize winning scientists and talented young researchers in computer science and mathematics will gather at the 4th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), Germany from September 18 – 23 , 2016.
According to a statement from HLF, there are only 102 people living around the world that have been distinguished with most renowned prizes in mathematics and computer science: the Abel Prize, the Fields Medal, the Nevanlinna Prize and the ACM A.M. Turing Award. The 22 of these laureates will travel to Heidelberg to participate in the 4th HLF, a networking conference for mathematicians and computer scientists.
The famed number theorist, Sir Andrew Wiles, who is the most recent recipient of Abel Prize will be in attendance.
During the week of the HLF, the scientists will introduce their research findings and projects through lectures and intensive discussions, while enough time is allotted for scientific and personal exchange.
The HLF offers the young researchers the unique opportunity to exchange with the experts in their fields in an informal environment. At the same time, the laureates appreciate the interaction with the outstanding young researchers of both disciplines.
The HLF was initiated by the German foundation Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), which promotes natural sciences, mathematics and computer science, and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS).
