About 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum

The 12th HLF will take place from 14 - 19 September 2025 (with young researcher registration taking place on 13 September 2025). This prominent, versatile event combines scientific, social and outreach activities in a unique atmosphere, fueled by comprehensive exchange and scientific inspiration. Laureate lectures and discussions as well as various interactive program elements are some of the Forum's fundamental elements, which are delivered in an environment that provides the space and time for unfettered exchange among attendees.

Over the course of the weeklong event, young researchers will have the chance to network and exchange ideas with their peers - 200 of the brightest minds from mathematics and computer science. They will also be given the exclusive opportunity to profoundly connect with their scientific role models and gain valuable insights by interacting with laureates in an unmediated and informal setting.
