Blog

Initially developed to provide topical reporting during the annual HLF, the blog hosted by SciLogs has evolved to provide interesting content in English and German from the worlds of mathematics and computer science throughout the year. Contributions include coverage of current discussions and exciting questions from mathematics and computer science, interviews with laureates and young researchers. The idea is to deliver diverse posts for a diverse audience, much like the projects of the HLFF.
