Microbial communities are ubiquitous and are crucially relevant to biogeochemical cycles as well as to plant and animal health. Given these central roles, research into microbial communities has been expanding over the last decade and is bound to continue to do so for decades to come. Since microbial communities are physically organised, dynamical, complex systems, this research necessitates combination of biological, physical, and mathematical approaches. The healthy development of this interdisciplinary field thus requires continued facilitation of crossing of disciplinary boundaries, both by established scientists and by emerging generation of new scientists. This follow-on workshop, following from its parent programme that was run in 2014, will enable a continued dialog among different researchers working on microbial communities and will draw in new talent. The main aim of this follow-on workshop is to further facilitate the interdisciplinary exchanges in microbial communities’ research and identify the emerging challenge areas in light of latest technological and conceptual developments in the field.
The meeting will feature approx.. 20 invited and 25 contributed talks. On the first day, there will be parallel tutorials focusing on mathematical models and experimental measurements of microbial communities. Selected talks will cover broad and recent topics in microbial community research, including:
The event is additionally supported by Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.
Registration Only
The Registration Package includes admission to all seminars, lunches and refreshments on the days that lectures take place (Monday - Friday), wine reception and formal dinner, but does not include other meals or accommodation.
Unfortunately we do not have any accommodation to offer so all successful applicants will need to source their own accommodation.
Please see the Hotels Combined website for a list of local hotels and guesthouses.
Lunch
Lunch will be held at Churchill College. Timings will be confirmed with the timetable.
Evening Meal
Participants are free to make their own arrangements for dinner.
Formal Dinner
The Formal Dinner will be held at Robinson College on Wednesday 12th October.
The event is a tradition for INI participants and gives you a chance to socialise with your colleagues on a more personal level. It is not one to miss!

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.
