In programs, visualizations and hands-on experiments you can discover its contribution to topics like astronomy, fluid dynamics, volcanism, glaciers or cartography.

This exhibition is organized by Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF), which came to life in 2013 by joint efforts of Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS) and Heidelberg Institut for Theoretical Studies (HITS). The Forum brings together awardees of the most important prizes in mathematics and comuter science, like Abel Prize, Fields Medal, incl. Nevanlinna-Prize and ACM A. M.

Further, HLFF wants to raise public awareness in the disciplines mathematics and computer science, as well as sustainably strengthen interest in these subjects.
