Inviting Young
Scientists

Meet Great Minds in Computer Science and Mathematics

As one of the founding organizations of the Heidelberg Laureate Forum http://www.

heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/, ACM invites young computer science and mathematics researchers to meet some of the preeminent scientists in their field. These may be the very pioneering researchers who sparked your passion for research in computer science and/or mathematics.

These laureates include recipients of the ACM A.M. Turing Award, the ACM Prize in Computing, Abel Prize, the Fields Medal, and the Nevanlinna Prize.

The 8th Heidelberg Laureate Forum will take place September 20–25, 2020 in Heidelberg, Germany.

This week-long event features presentations, workshops, panel discussions, and social events focusing on scientific inspiration and exchange among laureates and young scientists.

Who can participate?

Students of computer science and mathematics (or closely related fields) at the Undergraduate/ Pre-Master, Graduate Ph.D. and Postdoc levels can apply for the Heidelberg Laureate Forum. Postdocs include young researchers in classical postdoc positions as well as those who have recently completed (within five years) their Ph.D. and are still strongly interested in scientific matters, even if currently working in a non-scientific environment.
