The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences is a national research institute in Cambridge. It aims to bring together mathematical scientists from UK universities and leading experts from overseas for concentrated research on specialised topics in all branches of the mathematical sciences, from pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics, to theoretical aspects of any discipline.

At any time there are two visitor programmes in progress, each with about twenty scientists in residence. Included within these programmes are periods of particularly intense activity including instructional courses and workshops. Seventy-seven programmes have now been completed, the most recent being Statistical Theory and Methods for Complex, High-Dimensional Data and Combinatorics and Statistical Mechanics. The programmes currently taking place are Mathematics and Physics of Anderson Localization: 50 Years After and The Nature of High Reynolds Number Turbulence. The Institute also holds short follow-up events some years after a programme.

Call for Proposals

The Institute invites proposals for research programmes in any branch of mathematics or the mathematical sciences. The Scientific Steering Committee usually meets twice each year to consider proposals for programmes (of 4-week, 4-month or 6-month duration) to run two or three years later. Proposals to be considered at these meetings should be submitted by 31 January or 31 July respectively.
