MAINS on Tour
Each year, the HLFF showcases an exhibition centered on mathematics or computer science as part of the HLF program. Running parallel to the 13th HLF, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation presents a selection of interactive exhibits that will soon be on display at the Mathematics Informatics Station (MAINS) as part of the exhibition “La La Lab – the Mathematics of Music.” 

Intercultural Science Art Project
This exhibition hosts artworks created by young researchers attending the HLF. The works are inspired by the artists’ research or scientific interests and are brought to life through the prism of the artists’ own culture. The Intercultural Science Art Project is an initiative created and managed by mathematician, science communicator and HLF alumnus Demian Nahuel Goos, who created it as a meeting point for arts and science. Co-managing the project is Clara Kümpel, an HLF alumna and computer scientist at CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security. The project emerged from the HLF, where it was first developed and implemented. 

The 13th Heidelberg Laureate Forum took place from September 13–18, 2026. #HLF26 

The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is an annual networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the most prestigious awards in their disciplines: the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, ACM Prize in Computing, Fields Medal, IMU Abacus Medal and Nevanlinna Prize.
