At HLF all winners of the Fields Medal, the Abel Prize, the Alan Turing Award and the Nevanlinna Medal are invited to attend. In addition, young and talented computer scientists and mathematicians are invited to apply for participation. The three previous HLFs have been an exceptional success. The HLF serves as a great platform for interaction between the masters in the fields of mathematics and computer science and young talents.<br class=""><br class="">Applications for participation at the 4th HLF are open in three categories: Undergraduate, Graduate PhD, and PostDoc. See the webpage <a href="http://www.application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org" class="">www.application.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org</a> for the online application form and further information. The IMU Adhering Organizations and national mathematical societies can nominate young researchers. Nominated persons get "priority treatment", but, since there may be too many nominations, they have no acceptance guarantee. During the nomination process you will be asked for an Org-ID, which is IMU83214 for the IMU. The deadline for application is February 3, 2016. Observe that the HLF reserves the right to close the application website earlier.<br class=""><br class="">IMU asks its Adhering Organizations to distribute this information among their national mathematical communities, if possible through the newsletters of the national mathematical societies. <br class=""><br class="">The HLF was initiated by the late German entrepreneur Klaus Tschira, and is supported by the Klaus Tschira Foundation, The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, The Association for Computing Machinery, as well as The International Mathematical Union.<br class=""><br class="">Regards<br class="">Helge Holden<br class=""><br class="">Prof. Helge Holden<br class="">Secretary of the International Mathematical Union<br class=""><a href="http://www.mathunion.org" class="">http://www.mathunion.org</a><br class="">Phone:+47-92038625<br class=""><br class=""></blockquote><br class=""></div>
