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.

On Saturday 23 March INI was proud to host Dr Craig Saunders - Head of Applied Science at Amazon Alexa Knowledge - as part of the annual Cambridge Science Festival.

Launched in January 2019, the Isaac Newton Institute now proudly hosts the Kirk Distinguised Visiting Fellowship scheme. Designed to support and promote underrepresented groups in mathematics, the recipients so far are all women mathematicians of the highest regards. In the first of a series of interviews, we spoke to the philanthropist whose generous six-figure donation has made the project possible: Dr Ewan Kirk.
