Welcome to the 11th Heidelberg Laureate Forum!

Please take your seats by 14:45.

Access: all participants

Each year, the HLFF showcases an exhibition centered on mathematics or computer science as part of the HLF program.

These are short, rapid-fire, one-slide talks that look at an important breakthrough from the past, a challenge or problem for the future or a piece of advice to attending young researchers.

30 pre-selected young researchers have the opportunity to present their research in a condensed poster format. While the posters are continuously displayed throughout the week, the poster flash will feature young researchers presenting their work in rapid-fire two-minute presentations. During the subsequent poster session, participants can browse the various posters and directly engage with the young researchers in order to discuss their work.

What is the fastest way to get to know as many people as possible? Meet fellow participants and wire the network that could lead to connections that not only last throughout the 11th HLF but have the potential to extend beyond.
