Computing Machinery (ACM), the International Mathematical Union (IMU) 
and the Norwegian Academy for Science and Letters, amongst others. 
Successful applicants will be notified by April 15, 2013. Travel support 
will be provided for a limited number of young researchers.
The Heidelberg Laureate Forum offers the extraordinary opportunity to 
meet some of the pre-eminent scientists in mathematics and computer 
science to a select group of young researchers. During the week-long 
event, they will be able to get to know recipients of the most 
prestigious prizes for mathematics (Fields Medal and Abel Prize) and 
computer science (Turing Award. The Heidelberg Laureate Forum will take 
place from September 22 until 27, 2013 for the first time and will be 
held annually thereafter. Lectures and workshops offer plenty
of opportunity for scientific exchange, while a rich variety of social 
events encourages the young researchers to engage in casual 
conversations with their scientific role models.
