SLM
10 March 2022 to 31 December 2024
This programme is designed for the purpose of giving refuge to researchers in the mathematical sciences who have had to leave their country of residence. The aim is not only to offer participants a safe home but also to enable them to continue their work and start new scientific collaborations in the UK. Participants can be hosted for up to 12 months in the UK whilst on the programme.
The programme is open to all mathematicians who are research active, including those working towards their PhD.
There are two Schemes (‘Workshops’) that people can apply to:
Grants
The Solidarity Programme offers 3 grant opportunities, with some applicants being eligible for all 3 depending on their personal situation.
Visas
There are several visa pathways that participants could apply for. A common choice is the Standard Visitor Visa for academic visitors, although this may not be suitable for all of our participants.
Please note, some participants may also have to apply for ATAS Clearance due to their research field or their nationality. For some people, you will not be able to travel to the UK until you have received this.
Hosts
It’s helpful to the participant’s application if they are already in contact with a proposed academic host, this should be someone that the applicant shares similar research interests with and feels they will collaborate well together. The participant could also suggest a person they are interested in working worth, even if they do not have a connection yet.
If applicants struggle to find a suitable host, please let the Solidarity Team know and they will do their best to help try to find someone. However, they have found the Solidarity Programme works better when applicants are able to forge their own connection with a host.
Application
Please choose the relevant Solidarity Programme Scheme (Workshop) page link below and then click the APPLY button at the bottom of the page.
Additionally, applicants should download and complete this application form, indicating:
Please note, the application will automatically apply for all 3 grant schemes. Dependent on the applicant’s current situation and using the information provided in the application, the Committee will then decide the applicant’s grant package.
Applicants should then email their application form along with a copy of their CV, including a list of publications, to solidarity@newton.ac.uk.
Information will be shared with the organising team and selected members of staff at the INI and LMS as necessary.
Applicants must give clear evidence in their applications that they meet the criteria of the Solidarity Programme. In particular, applicants must be research active in the mathematical sciences and must need to leave their country of residence as a refugee of war or a political refugee.

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.
