HLFF Spotlight
Welcome to the HLFF Spotlight: Alumni in Action! A series illuminating inspirational collaborations, projects and career developments of HLF alumni and are presented in brief interviews or video documentaries. The first spotlight was cast on HLF alumni of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta in Nigeria, who developed a tracker that was tested on free-range animals at the university farm. They discuss how their project developed and organizing the workshop where they demonstrated the tracker’s potential to inhibit animal rustling.
HLFF Blog
Initially developed to provide topical reporting during the annual HLF, the blog hosted by SciLogs has evolved to provide interesting content in English and German from the worlds of mathematics and computer science throughout the year. Contributions include coverage of current discussions and exciting questions from mathematics and computer science, interviews with laureates and young researchers. The idea is to deliver diverse posts for a diverse audience, much like the projects of the HLFF.
