The Isaac Newton Institute temporarily closed its doors on Friday 20 March in response to the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19).  All staff are currently working remotely.

We have taken the decision to cancel all events until the end of August 2020.  In the coming months, we shall review our activities scheduled beyond September, but at present we are planning for their running as normal.

In the interim, the Isaac Newton Institute and the Newton Gateway to Mathematics, in collaboration with International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) and the Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), are hosting a variety of virtual activities including webinars, virtual study groups and a virtual long-term programme.

Please note that some pre-scheduled automated emails (including for instance request for confirmation of attendance at workshops that have been cancelled) are still being generated.  We apologise in advance if you receive such an email and ask you to ignore it.

Please see below for details of an event celebrating the works of INI founding Director Sir Michael Atiyah, due to take place at the Institute on 25 October 2019.

In February 2019,  a workshop took place to analyse and explore the various aspects of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). This was organised by INI, the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS),  Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) and an organising committee representing the breadth of the mathematical sciences. The event took place at ICMS in Edinburgh, related to one of 26 recommendations made by Professor Philip Bond in his 2018 Review of Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences launched at the House of Lords. 

/news/marini-kirk-fellowship-interviewDesigned to support and promote underrepresented groups in mathematics, the Kirk Fellowship scheme was launched at the start of 2019 and so far boasts five senior academics amongst its recipients. In this latest interview from its roster of honourees INI spoke to Professor Claudia Sagastizabal of the "Mathematics of energy systems" programme.
