We have been made aware of a convincing email scam that is focusing on our Programme and Workshop participants. Participants may receive an email from a firm called Expo Hotel Services (ehotelservices.org) to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This might include a request to provide them with credit card information.
Please note, INI will never ask for your card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.
If you have been contacted by this company please contact us as soon as possible.
Plankton play a key role in ocean-atmosphere dynamics. Their effects range from alterations on a local scale of the structure of the sea surface temperature and mixed layer depths, to ocean basin-wide emissions of potentially important climatological gases such as dimethyl sulphate, up to global fluxes of atmospheric carbon. These effects occur over a wide range of spatio-temporal scales and via a number of different biophysical processes. Plankton also comprise the lowest trophic level in the oceanic food chain, and are crucial to the maintenance of world fisheries.
A wide range of mathematical models exists, varying from complex, compartmental models, amenable only to numerical experimentation, to simple caricature-like models designed to expose crucial qualitative features and their relationship to or dependence on physical processes. It seems certain that both these approaches have a role in advancing our knowledge and understanding of plankton dynamics, and a key objective of the workshop will be to generate links and collaboration which ensure that they inform and complement each other. The programme will also bring together mathematical and numerical modellers with biological oceanographers to review, improve and develop models, addressing particularly the need to understand the spatio-temporal scale distribution of plankton behaviour and its relationship with the physical dynamics of the ocean-atmosphere system.
Within the programme will be embedded a specialist workshop (12-17 August) in association with GLOBEC and the European Community, attended by greater numbers than the core participants, focussing on the links between plankton population models and fisheries recruitment models.
There will be a regular seminar programme throughout the period. The number of seminars will in general be limited to one per day so as to leave adequate time for real hands-on collaborative work to be initiated and pursued. Within the overall period we plan to hold a few more intensive days devoted to specific topics to include:

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.
