If you intend to be away from the Institute for more than one weekday, please leave details of how you can be contacted with Reception or by emailing reception@newton.ac.uk. If you plan an absence of more than three days, please consult the Administrator who can be contacted at administrator@newton.ac.uk. Such absences may have implications to your subsistence allowance (if applicable), unless you are visiting another UK academic institution. It may be necessary for somebody else to use your desk during any absence because of the pressure of office space.
Information on hiring bicycles can be found on the notice boards in each office. If you require any information before you arrive, please contact Reception at reception@newton.ac.uk.
The University has a special arrangement with Cambridge Car & Van Hire, please call (01223) 464045 and say that you are from the Isaac Newton Institute, University of Cambridge. Visitors should check that the insurance cover is adequate for their needs. Please remember to bring your driving licence.
For reasons of safety and out of consideration to other visitors, the Institute requests that young children (under the age of eleven) are not brought into the building except on special occasions, where they should be closely supervised.
Details of the local schools and child-care facilities are available on the University’s website at www.admin.cam.ac.uk/univ/childcare/ and Girton College’s website at www.girton.cam.ac.uk/students/childcare-information/.
For initial guidance on the local schools and nursery facilities, please contact the Administrator or Housing Officer at the Institute.
Morning coffee is served between 11.00 and 11.30 am from the counter on the mezzanine floor. There is also a self-service machine, which can be used to make coffee, tea and hot chocolate at other times. Please ensure that cups taken into offices are returned to the counter near the kitchen. Cold drinks and snacks are also available, payment for which should be placed in the ‘honesty tray’.
If you have any queries or problems relating to computing facilities in the Institute, the computer staff can be contacted in room F6 (first level) or by emailing support@newton.ac.uk. A brief summary of the facilities available is given below, but more complete information is available at www.newton.ac.uk/computing.
The facilities that are offered depend on whether you have been allocated an office within the Institute. For those who have not been allocated an office:
For those who have been allocated an office within the Institute,
Computing facilities in the Institute are provided to authorised users only for academic purposes. Their usage is subject to the guidelines of the Institute and the rules of the University of Cambridge, available via the web page above.
In order that the Institute can use its limited facilities and resources effectively, visitors are asked to inform the Administrator immediately if they are forced to change the dates of their visit.
There are various matters that need to be dealt with before visitors leave the Institute:
i. You should submit the following, either on the forms provided (please return completed forms to Reception) or electronically via the following url: http://www.newton.ac.uk/depart.html
ii. Books must be returned to the Institute library, and any books borrowed from other Cambridge libraries should be returned directly to them.
iii. On your last day at the Institute: your door entrance card, photocopy card and office key (if applicable), should be handed in at Reception. Please also provide Reception with a forwarding address if this differs from the one held on our records.
iv. If you have any outstanding questions about your financial arrangements, please feel free to contact Stephen in GH3, telephone 65732. If you have any remaining queries regarding the Institute's accommodation, please contact Esperanza in GH2 or telephone 65730.
The Institute welcomes visitors with disabilities and is particularly accessible for wheelchair users. There is suitable parking on site, ramped entrances, wide corridors and safe stairwells in case of fire. The office accommodation, Library, seminar/lecture rooms and communal areas are accessible to wheelchair users by lift and there are separate toilet provisions for disabled people on each floor. Both seminar rooms have been fitted with an induction loop. For more information, please contact the Administrator at administrator@newton.ac.uk.
On arrival, programme visitors are issued an entry card that will enable them to enter the building at any time by the front and rear entrances. The entry card will also allow access to the library when it is not staffed (after 14:45). Use of other doors between 17.30 and 09.00 and at weekends will result in the sounding of the intruder alarm and security will be summoned automatically. Those visitors allocated an office space will be issued with the office key. You are advised to lock your office and windows when it is likely to be unoccupied for any appreciable length of time. A warden from the University Security Office secures the building each night, locking all office doors and windows. Visitors should ensure they have their key with them after 19.00 to avoid being locked out of their offices. The warden may check the building at various times during the night. If you lose your key or entry card, please inform Reception immediately.
Documents to be faxed should be handed to Reception. Expenditure on faxing is monitored in the same way as telephone calls.
If you are receiving an allowance for living expenses, payments are made on a monthly basis usually by cheque drawn in British Pounds. If you have been offered reimbursement of travel expenses you will be given a claim form in your arrival pack. Please complete and return this with original receipts. A special arrangement has been made so that cheques issued by the Instiute may be cashed, without it being necessary to open a bank account, at Barclays Bank, St. Andrew's Street, about a mile away in the centre of Cambridge. Visitors should take their passport with them as proof of identity.
Payments can also be made by International Bank Transfer, for which full bank details are required.
If your stay is for more than one month and you would prefer to open a UK bank account please contact the Finance Officer for details of the documentation which is required by the banks.
If you discover a fire, sound the fire alarm by breaking the glass at one of the red fire alarm call points. Attempt to deal with the fire if possible but do not take personal risks. If you hear the fire alarm sound (a loud continuous ringing), telephone the Fire Brigade by lifting a telephone receiver and dialling 1999 from an internal phone. When the operator replies, say:
Do not replace the receiver until the operator has repeated the address. Leave the building by the nearest exit and assemble in the car park at the side of the main building. Occupants of the Gatehouse may assemble in the Reception area of the main building, unless the alarm has sounded there as well.
In the event of a fire, do not use the lift, do not attempt to collect personal belongings before leaving the building and do not re-enter the building. If you are unable to use the stairs because of decreased mobility please make your way to one of the landings on the staircases in the northeast or southwest corners of the main building and wait for assistance. The stairwells provide 20 minutes of fire resistance.
Please note that in Seminar Room 1 the area around the room which is carpeted in beige must be kept clear of chairs and personal belongings at all times as it is needed as an escape route in case of fire.
The fire alarm is tested each Friday at 9:30am.
The Institute’s First Aiders are Esperanza de Felipe (tel 65730)and Steve Greenham (tel 30580).
If you have any problems with the furniture provided or require something that is not already in your office (eg foot rest) please contact Reception by emailing reception@newton.ac.uk.

The Institute has a scheme of ‘Junior Membership of the Newton Institute’. Graduate students and young post-docs in UK universities within 5 years of receiving their PhD are eligible to apply. Junior members receive publicity via email for all instructional workshops and conferences, and other information that may be of special interest to them. Junior Members may apply for Newton Institute Grants to support involvement in Institute activities, eg attendance at workshops, conferences etc, or visits of up to 2 weeks to collaborate with longer-term visitors on the programmes of the Institute.
Current details on eligibility, how to apply for membership, and procedures for applying for grants, can be found on the Institute’s Web site at www.newton.ac.uk/junior.html and enquiries may be sent by email to j.member@newton.ac.uk .
Whilst visitors are permitted to bring their laptops to the Institute, visitors who have not been allocated an office space should use the terminal room or the library where provision has been made. Visitors are asked to ensure they avoid causing health and safety problems by trailing cables. The use of laptops in seminars rooms during lectures should be avoided unless it is for the purpose of taking notes; this remains at the discretion of the lecturer.
Lectures and seminars should be arranged with the agreement and co-operation of the organisers of the two programmes running at any one time. The seminar rooms should be booked in advance through the Programme and Visitor Secretary.
Seminar Room 1 can accommodate an audience of 107 seated at tables and offers chalk boards, data projector, 3 overhead projectors, slide projector, video player and radio microphone for use by lecturers.
Seminar Room 2 can seat 42 and also has chalk boards, data projector, overhead projector, video player and a slide projector.
Further information on these audio/visual aids can be found on the Institute’s website at www.newton.ac.uk/av/.
Information about seminars at the Institute is distributed weekly, both inside the Institute and nationally, by means of notices, WWW and electronic mail. Details of seminars should be given to the Programme and Visitor Secretary by the end of the Tuesday of the week before they are scheduled so that they can be included in these lists.
The Institute wishes to make talks, presentations, lectures, seminars etc widely available by placing them on the web. There is an audio recording facility available in both seminar rooms for this purpose although only seminars given in Room 1 are recorded as a matter of course.
We also provide facilities whereby visitors can submit their presentations/lecture notes/overhead transparencies to be placed on the Institute's website. All visitors are strongly encouraged to make use of this facility, to enhance the outreach and accessibility of the Institute. The lecture notes can be submitted in any format via www.newton.ac.uk/webseminars/upload, emailed to webseminars@newton.ac.uk or handed in to Reception.
Lunch is available in the cafeteria at Wolfson Court (adjacent building), Churchill College and Robinson College. Hot and cold food is also available at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences. There is a refrigerator and a microwave oven on the Mezzanine Floor that visitors may use.
All overseas visitors are entitled to free emergency treatment under the NHS. Emergency means essential treatment, which cannot be reasonably delayed until the patient returns to their home country. If you do not normally live in the UK and you do not meet one of the exemptions from charges then you will have to pay for any treatment you might need.
Further information on the local healthcare services can be found on the University's website at www.cam.ac.uk/cambarea/pages/health.html and on the Department of Health's website at www.dh.gov.uk/PolicyAndGuidance/International/OverseasVisitors/fs/en. We strongly advise participants to consider taking out appropriate health insurance for non-emergency treatment.
The Newcomers and Visiting Scholars (www.accommodation.cam.ac.uk/Content/Document.aspx?document_id=10) has a programme of social events during Term, which may be of interest to accompanying spouses and children. The Newcomers’ Group holds weekly coffee mornings in the University Centre to which children are welcome. Other social events include tours of the Colleges, visits to London and Stratford-upon-Avon. Events require advance booking.
Office space is strictly limited. The Institute sets aside a number of spaces for each programme, normally two visitors to an office.
View two-persons office.
View three-persons office.
Visitors should park in the Institute's car park if space allows. The University will not be responsible for loss of or damage to vehicles or their contents. Cars should be registered with Reception where a parking permit will be issued.
Visitors are issued with cards which permit a limited number of copies to be made on the Institute’s photocopiers. Further cards will be issued provided that use is not excessive.
Incoming post is delivered to the mailboxes on the first floor. Items to be sent by post should either be left in the tray on top of the mailboxes or brought to Reception by 16.30, Monday to Friday, with the visitor’s name noted in the top left hand corner. Letters to destinations within the UK will be sent First Class unless marked otherwise. Letters are automatically sent airmail to the rest of the world. Wherever appropriate, international mail should be marked Printed Matter, which allows books and printed documents, such as preprints, etc to be sent at a cheaper rate. Packages marked Printed Matter must not be sealed, but fastened by string or tags, to allow for the examination of the contents by the Post Office, and they must not contain personalised items or tapes. In general, the Institute will meet postage costs but, because of limited resources, these are monitored and it may be necessary to ask visitors to meet their own postage costs if they exceed their allowance.
Participants are encouraged to include items in the Newton Institute Preprint Series, and should obtain a preprint number from the Library & Information Officer on completion of the paper. They will receive a number of bound copies of the preprint, and if an electronic version (e.g. tex, latex) is provided it will be made available on the Institute’s website. For further details please contact the Library & Information Officer on library@newton.ac.uk.
Participants who wish to print out large posters for display at our poster sessions are advised to use the Old School's Reprographics Centre. You may send posters through in advance of your visit and then collect them upon your arrival in Cambridge. They are located in the city centre.
The Institute encourages the recycling of paper, glass and cans. There are designated recycle paper bins by each photocopier and the printer. Please check the Information Sheet displayed by each bin, as not all types of paper can be recycled.
Programme visitors of the Institute may make applications for affiliated participant status on behalf of graduate students and research fellows associated with them and for whom they are prepared to act as sponsor. Application forms are available from the Programme & Visitor Officer by emailing programmes@newton.ac.uk. Provided that the sponsor accepts responsibility, the affiliated participants can be given (a) an entry card to the Institute and the library and (b) limited use of the Institute’s computer facilities, i.e. use of computers in the terminal room for email and writing ASCII files. Any additional computing, such as the use of TEX or Mathematica, may only be carried out using the computer assigned directly to the sponsor. It will not be possible to assign office space to affiliated participants and we would ask that programme organisers limit the number of affiliates to one per sponsor and three per programme at any one time.
Details of the local schools and child-care facilities are available on the University’s website at www.admin.cam.ac.uk/offices/personnel/jobs/living and Girton College’s website at www.girton.cam.ac.uk/students/childcare-information/.
As a result of changes in the procedures for funding of local education authority (ie state) schools, and in the policy of the Department of Education, there have recently been difficulties for visiting foreign nationals who wish to place their children in local education authority (LEA) schools whilst visiting Cambridge. The Institute has been successful so far in assisting its visitors to obtain such places but each case has had to be treated individually.
The legal position (as spelt out in DES Circular 11/88 Annex B) is that a place must be offered by the local authority if:
Thus, whilst the LEA has to provide education for the children of EC nationals (who are also EC nationals) who are employed here, these regulations in general do not help other overseas visitors to the Institute, who in general will have visas and/or work permits for less than six months.
LEAs have the flexibility to be more generous than the law requires and Cambridge County Council has a more liberal policy. Until recently this was to provide education whenever possible for those who stay was over six teaching months, but not to provide education for those whose stay in Britain was for six teaching months or less. There are, however, new signs that even the six months limit will be relaxed, which will benefit Institute visitors. “Aided schools” (e.g. certain church schools which are supported by LEA funds) may adopt their own policies, as long as they comply with the legal requirements, but the LEA will only provide funds for pupils in line with its stated policy.
It may be possible to enrol pupils in independent schools, but these are relatively expensive (fees usually in excess of £2000 per term) and the best ones are, like the best state schools, oversubscribed.
It seems from our relatively limited experience that it is usually possible to find schools for the children of non-EC nationals. The LEA has stated that it has no objection to such children being admitted as “visitors” provided that the school does not count them for funding purposes and that the school is not oversubscribed in the relevant year group to the extent that local children have been refused a place.
In order to obtain a place you will need to complete an application form which can be found at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/education/parents/admission at least 6 months before your child is due to start school. It may help your application to telephone the Admissions Office (contact details can be found on that website) before you submit the form to make sure you have all the relevant information. They will require details of your preferred school (please consult the Institute's Housing Office for information on the location of your accommodation), examination grades of each child and immunisation records.
If you are travelling under a non-EC passport, you may require an academic visitor dependant visa for each child; please refer to the section on Visas for further information.
Because of differences in the availability of school places in different parts of the city, non-EC nationals who expect to be accompanied by school-age children should draw this to the attention of the Housing Officer who will do her best to take account of this in seeking accommodation for them.
In the event of any emergency or breach of security at the Institute please inform the Administrator - 35981; or University Security - 31818 (24 hours) immediately.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the Institute, which is fitted with smoke detectors as a protection against fire. Smoking will set off the fire alarm causing the building to be evacuated and the fire brigade to be summoned automatically.
There are various facilities available in Cambridge to cater for your needs, information is provided in the Local Information section of the library and the University of Cambridge has a webpage: www.sport.cam.ac.uk.
Fenner's Fitness Suite, in the University Physical Education Centre on Gresham Road, will allow visiting researchers to become members. A letter of introduction from the Institute is required, which can be obtained from Reception. Annual membership is £70 and includes an induction and unlimited use of the facilities during opening hours.
Pens, pencils, photocopying paper, notepads, chalk, pens for use with overhead projectors etc are available on the shelves above the photocopiers on the Mezzanine floor. Other stationery is available from Reception (including write-on and photocopying transparencies) during office hours, which are 09:00 to 17:30, Monday to Friday. Reception should be consulted about office equipment and they may be able to arrange for the provision of extra fans, desk lamps, small tables etc, where necessary.
The Institute constantly monitors telephone expenditure because of limited funds. The Finance Officer is able to inform you of the cost of your calls so that you can ensure that they are kept within reasonable bounds.
Internal University numbers (five digits) can be dialled directly on internal phones; external numbers can be dialled from Institute phones if prefixed by a 9. University extensions can be dialled directly from outside the University by prefixing the five-figure extension number with a 3 (or 7 for the Gatehouse) and from long-distance using in addition the area code (0)1223. If an office telephone is not answered within four rings it will automatically call forward to the switchboard, where a message will be taken (office hours) or the answer machine will be activated (out of office hours).
Visitors should use the cheaper telephone rates whenever possible. The following table provides a summary of these.
| ZONE | CHEAP RATE | STANDARD RATE | PEAK RATE | |||

The University Centre, a facility for graduates and staff of the University, is located overlooking the river in Granta Place off Mill Lane. There is a cafeteria serving meals from 12:15 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 20:00 seven days a week. There is also a bar and restaurant and lounges with newspapers, periodicals and televisions. Visitors who wish to use the University Centre should collect a leaflet from the library.
The official publication of the University, the Cambridge University Reporter is available for consultation in the Library. Amongst other information, it gives details of some of the lectures and seminars open to the public. A special number of the Reporter, the Lecture List gives details of all the courses of lectures being given officially in the University. It is often possible to make arrangements to attend such courses. The University academic year is divided into three University Terms with the following dates: Michaelmas Term 6 October to 4 December; Lent Term 13 January to 13 March: and Easter Term 21 April to 12 June. Current University term dates can be found on the University website www.cam.ac.uk/cambuniv/termdates.html
In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible to store valuables in the Institute safe. Visitors for whom this is necessary should consult the Finance Officer. The Institute can accept no liability for visitors’ possessions. Lockers are available to use in the Terminal Room (located in the Gatehouse) for a £5 deposit. Please ask at Reception for details. Rooms in the Institute’s accommodation have also been fitted with safes and we encourage participants to make use of them.
To give a seminar and engage in research collaboration are positively encouraged. Your subsistence allowance will continue during such visits and reasonable travel expenses can be reimbursed.
The Library & Information Officer will provide help and information about the Institute’s Library and about other libraries and sources of information in Cambridge. The Institute library’s web pages can be found at www.newton.ac.uk/lib/
The main sequence of books is arranged under the Library of Congress classification scheme. The online catalogue, which covers the other University departments and main University Library as well as the Institute’s library, is available from a terminal in the library and can also be accessed from any other terminal in the building using the WWW at www.lib.cam.ac.uk. Please ask the Library & Information Officer if you need help with finding a book or using the catalogue.
Journals are arranged in alphabetical order by title and are shelved on the mezzanine gallery that is accessible via a small staircase at each end. The alphabetical sequence starts in the gallery on the left as you enter the library and continues in the gallery at the far end. Please ask if you need any assistance obtaining items from the gallery. Although the range of periodicals in the library is limited, an increasing number of titles are now available via WWW. A comprehensive list can be found at www.lib.cam.ac.uk/ejournals_list/. A password to enable participants to use online services can be obtained from the Library & Information Officer.
Visitors can borrow books or journals by filling in a loan card on the front desk of the library. Please do not remove material from the library without issuing them in this way, as it is important for other users to be able to tell if items are on loan. Similarly, it would be appreciated if material could be kept in offices rather than removed from the building, so that other users can gain access to them if needed urgently.
The Local Information section, which contains a selection of leaflets, guidebooks and maps, is situated on the shelves opposite the library door. Special provision has been made for visitors to borrow a copy of Cambridge; a Users Guide for the duration of their stay. Please ask the Library & Information Officer for further details. A webpage containing a large amount of current information about leisure and events in Cambridge and the surrounding area can be found at www.cam.ac.uk/cambarea/.
A selection of national and international newspapers are available on the newspaper rack by the door, please do not remove these from the Library.
There is a card operated photocopier located within the library. Visitors should observe the copyright regulations when copying.
Papers written at the Institute or based on work carried out at the Institute can be included in the Newton Institute Preprint Series. Participants are strongly encouraged to submit relevant papers to this series by sending an electronic copy (preferably as a PDF) to preprints@newton.ac.uk, and the Library & Information Officer will assign it a preprint number. Bound copies will then be displayed in the library, and the author may request additional personal bound copies. All preprints are made available on the Institute website at www.newton.ac.uk/preprints.html. More information is available from the Library & Information Officer.
Visitors are asked to acknowledge support from the Institute in preprints and publications. It would also be appreciated if authors would keep the Institute informed of any papers completed after their visit based on work carried out at the Institute, by filling in one of the publication forms provided.
Recommendations for book purchases are very welcome. Much of the Library’s stock is the result of gifts and the Institute warmly welcomes the donation of books, particularly those written by visitors and former visitors.
The limited size and scope of the Institute’s library is compensated for by a number of other relevant and more comprehensive libraries elsewhere in the University; visitors to the Institute are usually able to use these libraries by arrangement. Please ask the Library & Information Officer for a letter of introduction to access the following libraries.
This library contains books and periodicals on the physical sciences, technology and mathematics, and is located to the rear of the Newton Institute. Opening hours and further information is available at www.lib.cam.ac.uk/BGML/.
This library has specific responsibility for biological, chemical, earth and environmental sciences. It is located in the centre of Cambridge on the New Museums Site. Opening hours and further information is available at www.lib.cam.ac.uk/SPL/.
This is the main library for the University. It is a legal deposit library and contains material on a wide range of subjects. Further details can be found at www.lib.cam.ac.uk.
Visitors and their families may arrange to use the public library, Cambridge Central Library, in Lion Yard, Cambridge CB2 3QD (telephone 65252). Anyone wishing to do this should take a letter from the Institute library to present, together with a means of identification, to the staff at the registration desk at the public library.
Please feel free to ask the Library & Information Officer for assistance at any time.
