The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters is one of the institutions supporting<br />
the Heidelberg Laureate Forum (<strong>HLF</strong>). The agreement that established the <strong>HLF</strong><br />
was signed at the Academy in Oslo on May 22, 2012. Later that same day, Endre<br />
Szemerédi received the Abel Prize from King Harald of Norway, and this year marks<br />
his third time at the Heidelberg Laureate Forum.<br />
Sir Andrew Wiles who received the Abel Prize this year for<br />
his stunning proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, will also take<br />
part in the 4th <strong>HLF</strong>. Sir Michael Atiyah, who was awarded<br />
the Abel Prize in 2004, has shared his knowledge, ideas<br />
and thoughts at every <strong>HLF</strong> since 2013.<br />
The Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters began<br />
awarding the Abel Prize in 2003. The prize carries a cash<br />
award of 6 million NOK (about 650,000 euros), and is<br />
named after the exceptional Norwegian mathematician<br />
Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829).<br />
