12 “I greatly enjoyed the HLF and also the old city of Heidelberg which I first visited 75 years ago as a small boy. In considering the pattern of future meetings I hope special attention will be paid to the views of the young researchers. Such meet- ings are for their benefit.” Sir Michael Francis Atiyah, mathematician Fields Medal, 1966; Abel Prize, 2004 “The HLF was attended by about 200 students and young post-docs. They were from all over the world, all eager to meet, greet, listen and interact with their role models.” Srinivasa S. R. Varadhan, mathematician Abel Prize, 2007 “Having both pure mathematicians and theo- retical computer scientists together was an im- portant novel component that I would urge be maintained.” Leslie Valiant, computer scientist Nevanlinna Prize, 1986; Turing Award, 2010 “A great and imaginative concept, carried out with exceptional diligence and superb arrange- ments. Mixing laureates and young researchers is a superb idea. A wonderful time for the lau- reates to reunite with old friends. That‘s why I initially wanted to go. It worked.” Frederick Brooks, computer scientist Turing Award, 1999 “As a computer scientist, working closely with mathematics, I cannot express enough thanks for this effort to highlight our highest achieve- ments and thus the importance and excitement of the fields.” Madhu Sudan, computer scientist Nevanlinna Prize, 2002 “It was a wonderful meeting, the best designed and best executed meeting I have ever been to. Since these are joint meetings, they necessarily place emphasis on interactions between math and computer science, which is good.“ Efim Zelmanov, mathematician Fields Medal, 1994 Review Testimonials
