Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences

数学具有概括性和抽象推理的能力，是一门独特的学科，它能够深入渗透到其他学科中，为建立研究团体之间的沟通渠道提供共同语言，并具有持久的影响力。艾萨克·牛顿研究所（INI）是一个支持最高质量和影响力的数学科学研究的国际中心。它吸引了数学和相关学科各个领域的世界领先研究人员，他们通过各种长短主题项目以及相关研讨会、后续会议和大量一次性活动进行互动。总部设在剑桥，受益于剑桥大学定制的标志性建筑以及许多世界领先的设施，INI仍然是一个为整个英国数学科学服务的独立论坛。今年是INI成立25周年。截至2016年底，共有129个长期项目，超过26,000名INI项目和研讨会参与者，其中包括81名罗斯柴尔德访问教授/研究员，从1992年沃尔夫奖得主弗拉基米尔·阿诺德到2016年迪杰斯特拉奖得主理论计算机科学家辛西娅·德沃克。参与者还包括27位菲尔兹奖获得者，13位诺贝尔奖获得者，12位阿贝尔奖获得者，25位沃尔夫奖获得者和50多位克莱高级学者以及众多其他学科的主要奖项获得者。ini为英国研究人员提供了无与伦比的机会，让他们可以相互合作，并与他们所在领域的重要国际人物一起工作，而不受教学或行政职责的阻碍。它最大限度地发挥了知识交流和传播英国研究成果的潜力，同时使英国早期职业研究人员接触到各自学科的世界领导者。所有研究理事会的共同战略立场是强调创新的数学和统计方法对其科学和培训年轻研究人员的重要性。从一开始，INI的方案和嵌入式讲习班显然是内部或跨学科的，旨在加速数学和姊妹科学的研究影响。最近，国际信息研究所扩大了其职权范围，以解决社会科学、医学等方面的基本问题。它还关注建立机制，支持科学领域的多样性和性别平等，并培养早期职业研究人员，以扩大人才储备。图灵数学之门（TGM）创建于2013年，是INI的知识交流部门。从那时起，它将数学科学界与700多个商业、工业、商业和政府合作伙伴联系在一起。它有一套行之有效的影响途径，并与一系列组织合作，以帮助整个数学科学界。INI定期举办公众参与活动，包括其罗斯柴尔德公共研讨会。除了在研究所举行的25周年纪念活动之外，其中的一个亮点将是安德鲁·怀尔斯爵士和他的传记作者西蒙·辛格之间的讨论，INI还组织了一场在英国各地的“路演”，其中包括皇家学会图书管理员基思·摩尔和英国主要空间科学家的演讲。INI致力于保持创造力和数学卓越的声誉。这将意味着继续提供最高国际标准的突破性研究，在学术界和其他领域支持英国数学科学界，并通过TGM进一步将数学的范围扩展到其他学科和应用。在整个过程中，它将努力保持被广泛认可的创新和成就的文化。

Mathematics, with its capacity for generality and abstract reasoning, is a subject that is unique in its ability to penetrate deep within other disciplines, to provide a common language for establishing communication channels between research communities, and in the longevity of its influence.The Isaac Newton Institute (INI) is an international hub for supporting mathematical sciences research of the highest quality and impact. It attracts world leading researchers, in all areas of mathematics and cognate disciplines, who interact through a variety of long and short thematic programmes as well as associated workshops, follow-on meetings and a plethora of one-off events. Based in Cambridge, and benefiting from a bespoke and iconic building as well as many world-leading facilities of Cambridge University, INI is nevertheless an independent forum serving the whole of UK mathematical sciences. INI celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.To the end of 2016 there had been 129 long-term programmes in total, and over 26,000 INI programme and workshop participants including 81 Rothschild Visiting Professors/Fellows, from Wolf Prize winner Vladimir Arnold in 1992 to Dijkstra Prize winning theoretical computer scientist Cynthia Dwork in 2016. Participants have also included 27 Fields Medalists, 13 Nobel Laureates, 12 Abel Prize winners, 25 Wolf Prize winners and over 50 Clay Senior Scholars as well as numerous winners of major prizes in other disciplines. This does not include unregistered participants, who are welcome to drop-in to events for a couple of days at a time.INI gives UK researchers unparalleled opportunities to work with one another and with a critical mass of leading international figures in their field, unencumbered by teaching or administrative duties. It maximizes potential for knowledge exchange and the dissemination of UK research achievements, while exposing UK early career researchers to world leaders in their discipline.A common strategic position of all Research Councils is to emphasise the importance of innovative mathematical and statistical methods to their science and in the training of young researchers. From its inception, INI's programmes and embedded workshops were demonstrably intra or interdisciplinary and conceived to accelerate research impact within the mathematical and sister sciences. Recently INI has broadened its remit to address fundamental questions in the social sciences, medicine etc. It has also concerned itself with the instigation of mechanisms to support diversity and gender equality in the sciences, and to nurture early career researchers so as to enlarge the people pipeline. The Turing Gateway to Mathematics (TGM) was created in 2013 as the knowledge exchange arm of INI. Since then it has brought the mathematical sciences community together with an impressive range of over 700 partners in business, industry, commerce and government. It has a proven set of pathways to impact, and partners with a range of organisations to assist the whole of the mathematical sciences community. Public engagement events are regularly hosted at INI, including its Rothschild Public Seminars. In addition to the 25th Anniversary events being held at the Institute, a highlight of which will be a discussion between Sir Andrew Wiles and his biographer Simon Singh, INI is organising a "road show" across the UK including talks by Keith Moore, Librarian at the Royal Society, and leading British space scientists. INI is committed to the maintenance of a reputation for creativity and mathematical excellence. This will mean continuing to deliver ground-breaking research of the highest international standard, supporting the UK mathematical sciences community both in academe and beyond, and further extending the reach of mathematics into other disciplines and applications via TGM. Throughout it will strive to maintain the culture of creativity and achievement for which it is widely recognised.
