  1. What can the Isaac Newton Institute provide to support collaboration? Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences Director: david.wallace@newton.ac.uk +44 (0)1223 335980 (& 982) Deputy Director: ben.mestel@newton.ac.uk +44 (0)1223 330532 EPSRC Themes meeting, 25 March 2009

  2. Isaac Newton Institute • UK national and international visitor research institute, based in Cambridge. • Runs 4 – 6 selected advanced research programmes annually in the mathematical sciences with applications over a wide range of science and technology. • Attracts leading mathematical scientists from the UK and overseas to interact over an extended period. • Excellent research environment, experienced and committed staff. • Interdisciplinarity and collaboration key part of mission.

  3. How does it work? • Programme selection: international Scientific Steering Committee • Management oversight: Management Committee • Funding: EPSRC, Cambridge University and Colleges, Leverhulme Trust and London Mathematical Society and others • International links: EPDI, ERCOM and CNRS and ICMS in Edinburgh

  4. Financial support • New Grants: • EPSRC: £9.6M over six years from March 08 • Leverhulme £244K over 3 years • MS Research £50K • Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 £28K • Private donations, some substantial • STFC?

  5. How INI can foster collaboration • Proposals for programmes (outline/full) • many already touch on EPSRC themes • some commissioned by Director and SSC • new proposals encouraged • Scoping meetings • Open for business • Visits to UK universities and other research institutes • Visits to INI programmes – two-day ad hoc visits by UK researchers

  6. EPSRC THEMES • Energy • Digital economy • Nanoscience through engineering to application • Towards next-generation healthcare • Ageing - lifelong health and wellbeing • Global uncertainties - security for all in a changing world • Living with environmental change

  7. INI programmes and EPSRC themes 2009 - 2011

  8. Selection of programmes • Call for proposals, advice and guidance available from the Director • 4 - 8 referees selected with help of SSC • SSC selects programmes (accept, reject, resubmit) • SSC also stimulates programme proposals • Institute will support scoping meetings

  9. Scoping Meeting Scoping Meeting on Multi-scale Modelling of the Atmosphere and Ocean 25 March - 26 March 2009 University of Reading Co-Sponsored by: NCAS, Royal Meteorological Society and the Grantham Institute, Imperial College London

  10. Open for Business 2008 • Industry day on Complex High-Dimensional Data, 19 May 2008 • Part of Statistical Theory and Methods for Complex, High-Dimensional Data programme • 20 external delegates from HSBC, Microsoft Research, GSK, BNP Paribas, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, Unilever, Barclays, … • Turbulence in Fluids, 17 Nov 2008 • Part of High Reynolds Number Turbulence programme • 17 external delegates from Thales, UKAEA, TotalSim, ICTP, QinetiQ, AWE, Schlumberger, Smith Institute, ...
