computer science can apply for the first Heidelberg Laureate Forum, 
which will take place from September 22 until 27, 2013. The application 
deadline is February 15, 2013.

The Klaus Tschira Stiftung invites students, PhD candidates and postdocs

world to apply online for the first Heidelberg Laureate Forum. 
Applicants will find all information on the application process and on 
the required material for an application on the website

The final selection of the invitees will be made by the Scientific 
Committee supporting the Heidelberg Laureate Forum. Members of the 
Scientific Committee are representatives of the Association for 
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.

and computer science. www.klaus-tschira-stiftung.de
