Heidelberg Laureate Forum 2016
etkinlik
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum is a one-week event combining scientific, social and outreach activities. The winners of the most prestigious awards in Mathematics and Computer Science, the Abel Prize, the Fields Medal (including the Nevanlinna Prize for contributions in “Mathematical Aspects of Information Science”), and the ACM Turing Award are invited to participate in the Forum. Young researchers from all over the world can apply to take part.
Each participant found one of the IMAGINARY snapshots in the conference bag.
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum is the result of a joint initiative of the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies and the Klaus Tschira Stiftung. The KTS and the HITS were brought to fruition by physicist and co-founder of SAP, Klaus Tschira (1940 – 2015). The latter has been a supporter of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings for many years, and the experience of this event spawned the idea of creating something similar for the two crucial scientific disciplines Mathematics and Computer Science.
The idea was initially discussed in late 2011 with representatives of the “Mathematisches Forschungszentrum Oberwolfach”, the “Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics” as well as individual laureates. Since the response was uniformly positive, a formal proposal was submitted to the organizations granting the Abel Prize (Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters), the Fields Medal (International Mathematical Union), and the ACM Turing Award (Association for Computing Machinery). A preparatory meeting was held in Heidelberg on February 7, 2012, which resulted in a recommendation to the award-granting institutions to endorse an annual meeting for laureates of the three prizes with young scientists to be held in Heidelberg, organized by the Klaus Tschira Foundation and the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies.
