For more than ten years, the Junge Akademie (Young Academy) of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities has promoted excellent young scientists in Baden-Württemberg in organizing international conferences through funding, organizational support, and scientific consulting.
The WIN-Conferences programme enables early career researchers to independently plan and conduct international interdisciplinary conferences. Conferences that bring into contact early career researchers with the experts of the respective diciplines will receive preferential treatment. This entails appropriate conference formats and a limited number of participants.
In accordance with the Academy’s mission, the conferences should foster dialog between established disciplines and thus need to focus on interdisciplinarity.
