This September, recipients of the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, and the Nevanlinna Prize are invited to gather in Heidelberg to meet with 200 young researchers from all over the world at the 6th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). In order to reach a broader, more international audience, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) provides 15 travel grants for journalists to cover the event, creating a space to interact with the preeminent scientists of mathematics and computer science. The 6th HLF will take place from September 23-28, 2018, and applications for the coveted travel grants are accepted until May 15, 2018.
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) awards 15 travel grants to journalists to cover the 6th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF).
The HLF offers a carefully selected group of young researchers in mathematics and computer science the extraordinary chance to meet the preeminent scientists in their fields for one week of cross-generational, scientific dialogue. What distinguishes the HLF from traditional scientific conferences is the unique atmosphere that inspires a blend of acute scientific discussions and informal interactions among the participants. Lectures, workshops and panel discussions embolden scientifically driven debate, while various social events encourage the participants to pursue their discourse outside the lecture halls and to get to know each other.
Embedded once again into the program is the Hot Topic session, which centers on a theme that is highly consequential, not only for science, but society at large. At the 6th HLF, a panel of experts from various specializations will discuss blockchain technologies, the potential of cryptocurrencies and future impact of the secure distributed ledger.
After carefully evaluating each application, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation offers 15 travel grants to enable journalists to report on this compelling networking event for the pinnacle in computer science and mathematics. Grants cover travel costs as well as board and accommodation during the stay in Heidelberg (starting with a media-get-together on the evening of September 22).
Until May 15, 2018, journalists from all over the world are invited to apply, irrespective of their media affiliation (print, TV, online, radio). The applications must include the following: a short CV, three samples of work (indicating respective medium), a synopsis of publications to date (indicating respective medium), planned contributions regarding the HLF as well as a preliminary travel itinerary including estimated costs.
Please send travel grant applications to: media@heidelberg-laureate-forum.org
Application deadline: May 15, 2018

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
