200 young researchers from 60 countries were selected to meet leading researchers in mathematics and computer science for a week of scientific exchange and interdisplicinary dialogue across generations and beyond cultural barriers. This event featured a total of 25 Abel, Turing, Fields and Nevanlinna Laureates, winners of the highest distinctions in mathematics and computer science. The 2^nd Heildelberg Laurate Forum took place in Heidelberg, Germany, 21-26 September 2014.

CROWD*, a research project in the strategic domain of future communication and ICT services infrastructures, was selected  by the European Commission in 2014 to join the group of "early 5G precursor projects". As such, it will contribute to the early showcasing of potential technologies for the future ubiquitous, ultra-high bandwidth “5G” infrastructure.
