The 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum is now in full swing and in this episode of the Vlog@HLF25 we join the young researchers, laureates and speakers from around the world as the kaleidoscopic program begins.
We speak to mathematician Tom Crawford about an innovative format he is moderating – the Spark Sessions. Ulrike Tillmann and Corinna Ulcigrai talk about their Kaleidoscope panel discussion on the multifaceted nature of a research career in math and computer science. And laureates Leslie Lamport and Vinton Gray Cerf share some good advice and lead us into the karaoke evening!
The Vlog is presented by Marianne Freiberger and Rachel Thomas, editors of plus.maths.org. They'll guide you through this exciting week, talking to participants and giving you glimpses behind the scenes.

The 12th Heidelberg Laureate Forum took place from September 14–19, 2025. #HLF25
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.
