The 12th HLF 2025

The 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum took place from September 14 to 19, 2025, bringing together some of the brightest minds in mathematics and computer science for a week of engaging interdisciplinary exchange. During the conference, young researchers and other participants had the opportunity to connect with scientific pioneers and draw from the rich body of experience brought by the attending laureates. While lectures and panel discussions formed the core of the scientific program, interactive elements such as workshops and master classes offered a variety of opportunities for participants to engage, collaborate, and exchange ideas. The HLF uniquely combined scientific, social and outreach activities, creating an atmosphere rich in dialogue and inspiration.
