As a subject of wonder and beauty, pure mathematics is one of the highest expressions of human culture, and the applications of mathematics, often unperceived, are truly all-pervasive in our modern world. The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences is dedicated to enabling UK researchers to interact with the best scientists from around the world, in themed research Programmes. The cross-disciplinary breadth of Programmes is extraordinary; the Institute is a place where the underpinning mathematics is brought to bear on big scientific issues. As well as research in mathematics per se, future Programmes and workshops include: challenges in genome analysis; laboratory and astrophysical plasmas; uncertainties in climate modelling and prediction; the design and analysis of experiments; the mathematics and applications of branes in string and M-theory; topological dynamics in the physical and biological sciences; and adaptive mesh modelling in the atmosphere and ocean. The quality of the Programmes and the unrivalled INI environment have attracted, in the years 2005-9, the winners of 5 Fields Medals, 3 Nobel Prizes, 5 Wolf Prizes, and 2 Abel Prizes.The environment for participants is exceptional: a dedicated and purpose-designed building; office, computing and AV support including a state of practice multi-media environment for video recording, webcasting and videoconferencing; superb library support including over 40,000 books in Mathematical Sciences within 50 metres of the Institute and access to the full library of Cambridge University; the opportunity to interact with the wider community in Cambridge and nearby Institutes; and experienced staff who know what works, and who provide full support to organisers and participants, to enable them to focus on their science. Questionnaire responses show that the commitment of staff is hugely appreciated. Institute Programmes are generally of six, four or one month's duration, with usually two Programmes running in parallel, each with 20-30 scientists in residence. Programmes include particularly intense periods of instructional courses and workshops for 100 or more scientists, which are frequently held elsewhere in the UK to maximise opportunity for the UK community and access for early career researchers. The format is well-established and has been exceptionally successful in the 86 Programmes run to date. The collaborations established between UK scientists and with those from elsewhere often continue and bear fruit over a long period; this is fostered by one-week follow-up meetings to earlier Programmes. The Institute responds to shorter term needs through 'Open for Business' meetings with industry and business, and scoping meetings to support the development of innovative multidisciplinary proposals. The Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) is at the heart of a rigorous peer review process involving up to eight referees, to ensure that every Programme is of the highest quality. In forming their judgements, the SSC considers these reports in the context of: the quality of the research proposed; its timeliness; the opportunities it offers to bring together different branches of mathematics and/or application areas; demand from and value to the UK community; and the potential impact which the special environment of the Institute can engender. The SSC also takes account of activities at other Institutes world-wide. Out-reach activities of the Institute include involvement with the Cambridge Science Festival, and growing a network of people in business, primarily in the City, who value the Institute, and the opportunity that it gives to engage informally with leading scientists. More than 75 business people have been involved to date, and they will be the basis for a fundraising effort to help ensure the future well-being of the Institute, and that there are no financial barriers to participation.

作为一个奇迹和美丽的主题，纯数学是人类文化的最高表达之一，数学的应用，往往未被察觉，在我们的现代世界中确实无处不在。艾萨克·牛顿数学科学研究所致力于使英国研究人员能够在主题研究计划中与来自世界各地的最优秀的科学家进行互动。课程的跨学科广度是非凡的;该研究所是一个基础数学被带到大科学问题上的地方。除了数学本身的研究外，未来的方案和讲习班包括：基因组分析的挑战;实验室和天体物理等离子体;气候建模和预测的不确定性;实验的设计和分析;弦和M理论中膜的数学和应用;物理和生物科学中的拓扑动力学;以及大气和海洋中的自适应网格建模。在2005- 2009年期间，该计划的质量和无与伦比的INI环境吸引了5名菲尔兹奖，3名诺贝尔奖，5名沃尔夫奖和2名阿贝尔奖的获得者。参与者的环境是特殊的：专用和专门设计的建筑;办公室，计算和AV支持，包括用于视频录制，网络广播和视频会议的实践多媒体环境;一流的图书馆支持，包括超过40，000本数学科学书籍，距离研究所50米，并可使用剑桥大学的全部图书馆;有机会与剑桥和附近研究所的更广泛社区互动;经验丰富的工作人员知道什么是有效的，并为组织者和参与者提供全力支持，使他们能够专注于他们的科学。对调查表的答复表明，工作人员的奉献精神受到高度赞赏。研究所的方案一般为期六个月、四个月或一个月，通常有两个方案同时进行，每个方案有20-30名常驻科学家。课程包括为100名或更多科学家举办的特别密集的教学课程和研讨会，这些课程和研讨会经常在英国其他地方举行，以最大限度地提高英国社区的机会，并为早期职业研究人员提供机会。这一模式已得到很好的确立，在迄今开展的86个方案中取得了极大的成功。联合王国科学家之间以及与其他地方科学家之间建立的合作关系往往会持续很长一段时间并取得成果;这是通过对早期方案举行为期一周的后续会议来促进的。该研究所通过与工业和商业的“开放商业”会议和范围界定会议来响应较短期的需求，以支持制定创新的多学科提案。科学指导委员会（SSC）是一个严格的同行评审过程的核心，涉及多达八名裁判，以确保每个计划都是最高质量的。在形成他们的判断，SSC认为这些报告的背景下：研究的质量建议;其及时性;它提供的机会，汇集数学和/或应用领域的不同分支;需求和价值，以英国社会;和潜在的影响，该研究所的特殊环境可以产生。南南合作还考虑到世界各地其他研究所的活动。该研究所的外联活动包括参与剑桥科学节，以及发展一个主要在城市的商界人士网络，他们重视该研究所，并有机会与领先的科学家进行非正式接触。迄今已有75多名商界人士参与，他们将成为筹款工作的基础，以帮助确保研究所未来的福祉，并且参与没有财务障碍。
