Young researchers in math and computer science from around the world can sign up for a chance to join the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), an annual conference where they can connect with top scholars in their fields. The forum is a unique opportunity for accepted participants to interact with winners of prestigious awards in math and computer science, like the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal, and Nevanlinna Prize. This event encourages discussions between accomplished laureates and aspiring researchers in Heidelberg, Germany.

During the weeklong event, young researchers get to meet and talk with 200 other bright minds in math and computer science. They also get a special chance to connect deeply with their scientific heroes and learn valuable things by chatting with award-winning experts in a casual and friendly setting. One young researcher said, "Meeting the people behind some of the coolest inventions and discoveries was amazing. I didn't expect them to be so friendly and easy to talk to. I'm thankful for this chance and forgetting to share it with peers who I hope to work with and be friends with in the future
