Solidarity for mathematicians

	INI Solidarity Satellite Programme	LMS Solidarity Welcome Grant	LMS Solidarity Supplementary Grant
Purpose	To provide a temporary home for up to twelve months at a UK academic institution for mathematicians having to flee their home.	To provide those mathematicians having to flee their country with some immediate financial support while they are travelling to the UK and/or incurring costs in the first month on arrival.	To provide supplementary financial support for those mathematicians who have had to flee their country and who have been able to find a home in the UK but are in need of further financial support.
Eligibility	All of these schemes are aimed at research active mathematicians of all stages including students working towards a doctoral degree.
Value	This scheme offers up to twelve months accommodation and a modest subsistence. The total value is up to £2000 per month (including accommodation). The participant will be matched with a mathematics department in a UK academic institution where participants will be official guests with access to the internet and libraries.	Applications for up to £3000 will be considered though it is expect that an individual grant is likely to be in the region of £1000.	The value can vary from a few hundred pounds (eg for a computer) to a supplement of the monthly income up to the UKRI limits. Thus for example, a participant on the INI Satellite Programme could receive supplement of £500 for each additional dependent up to £1000.
Visa requirements	A Standard Visitor visa for academic visitors suffices. Alternatively, the "Homes for Ukraine" scheme can be combined with this scheme (https://www.gov.uk/register-interest-homes-ukraine).	No additional requirements. The grant can also be paid while the recipient is outside the UK. Indeed, it is expected that participants may choose to use the grant abroad to bridge the time it takes to apply for a visa to travel to the UK. It is expected that in most instances the grant is paid to a trusted academic partner.	No additional requirements.
Application	All applicants should apply by clicking the APPLY button after following the link for the relevant "workshop" listed below: Solidarity for Mathematicians: Refugees of War: https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/slmw02 Solidarity for Mathematicians: Political Refugees: https://www.newton.ac.uk/event/slmw03 Additionally, applicants should download and complete this form, indicating: Research interests; Current situation and needs; Which of the three schemes listed here they wish to apply to; and email it along with a copy of their CV, including a list of publications, to solidarity@newton.ac.uk.

Purpose

To provide a temporary home for up to twelve months at a UK academic institution for mathematicians having to flee their home.

To provide those mathematicians having to flee their country with some immediate financial support while they are travelling to the UK and/or incurring costs in the first month on arrival.

To provide supplementary financial support for those mathematicians who have had to flee their country and who have been able to find a home in the UK but are in need of further financial support.

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.

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.

“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.
