1 May 2013 to 23 August 2013
This four month programme shall advance the mathematical modelling and analysis of complex fluids and active media in situations involving interface and contact line dynamics. It is focused on confined systems involving various kinds of interfaces as, for instance, moving or evaporating drops on substrates, vesicles, thin films, crawling and swimming cells, biological membranes and tissues. Dynamical processes of interest to the programme include as well surface induced phase transitions, cell adhesion and locomotion on surfaces, and bio-convection caused by active swimmers interacting with boundaries. The involved complex behaviour is marked by the interplay of different instabilities triggering hierarchical structure formation processes. Theoretical approaches range from stochastic discrete descriptions of processes on the nanoscale to deterministic continuum descriptions of processes on the micro- or macroscopic scales. The latter naturally connect to advances in the analysis of partial differential equations for kinetic theory. Some attention will as well be paid to multiscale analysis and computations.
The programme shall foster the development of advanced mathematical descriptions of the coupling of the bulk dynamics of complex fluids and active media with the dynamics of free surfaces, interfaces and contact lines. Thereby the programme will initiate new collaborations between applied mathematicians and the different communities of physicists or engineers involved in biological physics, soft condensed matter science, chemical/mechanical engineering, nano- and microfluidics, and related fields. The programme combines research seminars, embedded workshops and a summer school with a number of short instructional courses. The latter will particularly allow younger researchers to better integrate concepts of mathematical modelling and non-equilibrium, nonlinear, and soft matter science into the presently active research fields.

INI is a creative collaborative space which is occupied by up to fifty-five mathematical scientists at any one time (and many more when there is a workshop). Some of them may not have met before and others may not realise the relevance of other research to their own work.
INI is especially important as a forum where early-career researchers meet senior colleagues and form networks that last a lifetime.
Here you can learn about all activities past, present and future, watch live seminars and submit your own proposals for research programmes.
Within this section of the website you should find all the information required to arrange and plan your visit to the Institute. If you have any further questions, or are unable to find the information you require, please get in touch with the relevant staff member or our Reception team via our contact pages.
INI and its programme participants produce a range of publications to communicate information about activities and events, publish research outcomes, and document case studies which are written for a non-technical audience. You will find access to them all in this section.
The Isaac Newton Institute aims to maximise the benefit of its scientific programmes to the UK mathematical science community in a variety of ways.
Whether spreading research opportunities through its network of correspondents, offering summer schools to early career researchers, or hosting public-facing lectures through events such as the Cambridge Festival, there is always a great deal of activity to catch up on.
Find out about all of these endeavours in this section of the site.
There are various ways to keep up-to-date with current events and happenings at the Isaac Newton Institute. As detailed via the menu links within this section, our output covers social media streams, news articles, a regular podcast series, an online newsletter, and more detailed documents produced throughout the year.
“A world famous place for research in the mathematical sciences with a reputation for efficient management and a warm welcome for visitors”
The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute. It runs research programmes on selected themes in mathematics and the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. It attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact in research over an extended period.
INI has a vital national role, building on many strengths that already exist in UK universities, aiming to generate a new vitality through stimulating and nurturing research throughout the country.During each scientific programme new collaborations are made and ideas and expertise are exchanged and catalysed through lectures, seminars and informal interaction, which the INI building has been designed specifically to encourage.
For INI’s knowledge exchange arm, please see the Newton Gateway to Mathematics.
The Institute depends upon donations, as well as research grants, to support the world class research undertaken by participants in its programmes.
Fundraising activities are supported by a Development Board comprising leading figures in academia, industry and commerce.
Visit this section to learn more about how you could play a part in supporting INI’s groundbreaking research.
In this section you can find contact information, staff lists, maps and details of how to find INI’s main building in Cambridge.
Our administrative staff can help you with any queries regarding a prospective or planned visit. If you would like to discuss a proposed a research programme or other event, our senior management team will be happy to help.
