The 3rd Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) was held in Heidelberg’s picturesque old city in Germany on 23–28 August 2015. Supported by the Klaus-Tschira- Stiftung, since 2013, the Forum has brought young researchers from around the globe together with a handful of laureates—outstanding mathematicians and computer scientists who have been recipients of either the Abel Prize, ACM A.M. Turing Award, Fields Medal, or the Nevanlinna Prize. This year’s forum was no different, and included approximately 200 young researchers and 26 laureates including Leonard Adleman (ACM Turing Award recipient and co-inventor of the RSA cryptosystem), Shigefumi Mori (Fields Medalist and president of the International Mathematical Union), and Vinton Gray Cerf (ACM Turing Award recipient and co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocols). The group of young researchers included five young mathematicians working in Australia (see Figure 2).
