About us

In 2013, the co-founder of SAP, Klaus Tschira, established the nonprofit Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) with the goal of fostering mathematics and computer science. The HLFF organizes the annual Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF), a networking conference where 200 outstanding young researchers in mathematics and computer science interact with the recipients of the most renowned prizes in the fields. Another primary focus of the Foundation is turning the public’s attention toward mathematics and computer science, not only to awaken but to strengthen their interest through events and exhibitions held in their Mathematics Informatics Station (MAINS). The HLFF is funded by the German foundation Klaus Tschira Stiftung (KTS), which supports the natural sciences, mathematics and computer science, while striving to increase their appreciation. Education, research and science communication are the foundation’s three primary areas of focus. https://www.hlf-foundation.org/imprint.html https://www.hlf-foundation.org/privacy-policy.html

  • On any given day, you probably pass by tens – if not hundreds – of barcodes.   Barcodes have become so mundane that we take them for granted. But this dull utility hides a story of technological innovation, economics, and – as it so often happens – a bit of serendipity. This week at the HLFF Blog, Andrei Mihai writes about the history of the barcode.   Check out our new article: https://lnkd.in/eSCBmUAk
