Calling all HLF Alumni! Are you interested in joining us for the 13th HLF 2026?
Due to the overwhelming response from Young Researchers, Laureates, Guests and Alumni themselves, we have decided to once again provide 20 Alumni with the opportunity to come back to Heidelberg and attend the 13th HLF, taking place from September 13-18, 2026.
As PostDocs are no longer eligible to return as Young Researchers, these Alumni spots are reserved for them in order to continue supporting their engagement within the Alumni community. At the same time, we are striving to expand meaningful opportunities and programs for Alumni at earlier career stages through other future formats.
As we did the last three years, we will incorporate the selected Alumni into the HLF program as session hosts, panelists, input givers, interviewers, interviewees, etc. In addition, we will also be holding special Alumni activities throughout the week.
The HLFF will cover all costs for hotel accommodation and meals for those selected to attend. Travel grants will be available for those who require financial support.
