The first-ever Heidelberg Laureate Forum is taking place this week. It’s modeled after the decades-old Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings, which bring together Nobel Laureates and young researchers for a conference on a particular topic. Mathematics and computer science are not represented in the list of Nobel Prize disciplines, so the Heidelberg Laureate Forum is an analogous conference for those fields. The laureates have won some of the most prestigious awards in mathematics and computer science: the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Nevalinna Prize, and the Turing Award. Along with 39 prize winners, 200 young researchers in math and computer science are attending the meeting and getting a chance to interact with the very best in their fields.
