10 Years of the HLFF
2023 is a very special year: The Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF) turns 10 years old and September will feature the 10th Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF). To celebrate the occasion, every month we will be debuting at least one Special – whether for the MAINS or the HLF, digital or live, regional or international: There is something for everyone! A very special thanks to the Klaus Tschira Stiftung, without whom none of this would be possible.

Do-It-Yourself Geometry
Celebrating the International Day of Mathematics, the MAINS will be hosting a mathematics crafts event for the whole family. On March 18, from 10:30 a.m. until 6 p.m., mathematician and science journalist Dr. Christoph Pöppe will show kids how to build a variety of geometric shapes out of cardboard.

New Exhibition – The Fascinating World of Mirrors
Starting February 12, the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation’s (HLFF) anniversary year will feature its first new exhibition in the MAINS: "The Fascinating World of Mirrors". Visitors ages 8 and up can experience and experiment with a variety of interactive exhibits by the Wolfsburger Science-Center phaeno, all revolving around the exciting world or mirrors.
