19 August 2013 to 23 August 2013
In 2013, it is 20 years since a six-month programme on Epidemic Models was held at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences in Cambridge, UK. This programme was very influential in shaping the research field of infectious disease dynamics from its mostly mathematical initial development in the nineteen-seventies and eighties to its current breadth and depth, dealing with important veterinary and human infections.
In the last 20 years, the field has changed profoundly in many ways: it has attracted many researchers, who come from a very large range of disciplines, most taking a biological question rather than a methodological question as the starting point for their research; the use of models to inform (veterinary and human public) health policy has matured; the integration with data, and the required methodology, has become much stronger; sources of heterogeneity, previously often neglected, or unrecognised as important, have become much richer, partly as a result of the availability of new data sources and profound advances in data gathering techniques, computing techniques and power; many new infectious agents have appeared making scientific efforts in understanding infectious disease dynamics even more relevant to the real world. Both key veterinary and human infections were instrumental in shaping the field, it is expected that notably zoonotic infections will move the field further in the next decades.
We aim to bring together 100 scientists in our field, mostly on an invitation basis, across a wide range of interests, disciplines and ages, to define what these changes mean for the future of the field and to establish a research agenda for the coming decade. In addition, we celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the instrumental initial Newton programme.
Given the nature of the meeting, we are directly inviting the speakers (balancing the participants from the original 1993 meeting, as well as later generations of researchers) and asking them specifically to address the broad topics that we have identified. The workshop will run for five days, ending after lunch on Friday 23 August. There will be one and a half days devoted to painting 20 years of post-Newton developments, one and a half days devoted to topics of great importance for the future of the field, and two half days devoted to public health needs with respect to our collective insight and methodology. We have chosen a form for the workshop that maximises the opportunity for discussion.
The nature of the workshop is that speakers will be addressing their themes broadly, instead of talking about their own work in this area. For that reason, there will, as part of the workshop, be the possibility to present and discuss posters on more specific focussed new research.
Although attendance is mostly by invitation, there are a small number of places available for young scientists in the field of infectious disease dynamics, with preference for scientists from outside Europe and the USA. The organising committee will decide which applicants can come to the meeting, should more people apply than places exist.

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.
