| Description | The science undertaken at the Institute covers the widest possible range from Astronomy to Zoology. Reports from the organisers of each programme are available on the Institute's website, with details of publications and lectures for downloading on http://www.newton.ac.uk/. The Institute has always embraced inter- and multidisciplinary activities, helping to broaden the mathematical sciences and its influence throughout academe. The Additional Funding for the Mathematical Sciences has allowed the Newton Institute to run a third parallel strand of long-term programmes in Cambridge (at the Moeller Centre) as well as an additional 11 Satellite Programmes through-out the UK. Combined with funding from the Simons Institute, 14 one-year post-doctoral fellows have been supported, who stayed at INI typically for the length of the thematic programmes they were associated with and the rest of the year in a UK HEI of their choice. Responding to the demands of the community, a network scheme was devised. INI now supports 36 INI Networks with over 1000 UK researchers. Topics include a whole range of theoretic topics but also EPSRC priority areas including the mathematics of sea ice and mass extinctions, mathematical data science for material science, modelling of ocean wave energy and the study of cancer. Two networks focus on the communication of mathematics and gathering resources for diversity in mathematics, in a sense extending INI's own series of workshops on these topics. In addition to these, INI together with its impact initiative, the Newton Gateway, have developed a series of training course for graduate students (in particular supporting CDTs), short courses in the communication of mathematics, and modelling camps. INI is presently supporting the set-up of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences and the Knowledge Exchange Hub for the Mathematical Sciences providing funding and back-office support.

| Exploitation Route | The reach of INI is as broad as the reach of the mathematical sciences. They in turn are omnipresent and underlie much of modern technology, security, distribution systems, AI and much else. INI with its programmes serves as a national lab convening leading experts from all over the world. Especially the numerous early career researchers benefit and will take the research further. The Newton Gateway is INI's impact initiative connecting the research at INI directly to industrial and governmental end-users. |

| Description | In addition to expanding its core activities at the Newton Institute, many activities supported by the Additional Funding were aimed at the broader UK mathematical science community. Satellite programmes shone a spot-light on research groups across the country bringing much international attention and expertise to these locations. INI networks have been used creatively by organisers for community building and to support a wide variety of activities and subject areas often aimed at specific societal problems in health, security and climate. Graduate workshops, modelling camps and communication workshops and in particular post-doctoral positions strengthened the people pipeline focusing on the early career stages. The creation of the KE Hub and the Academy have changed the UK landscape for the Mathematical Science. The Academy with its Policy Unit has produced several influential documents including a Maths Manifesto, a study of the economic impact of the mathematical sciences, and a policy briefing on harnessing the power of mathematical models for better policy decisions. The KE Hub has established itself quickly offering amongst other triage workshops for business, industry and government partners on one hand and researchers in the mathematical science on the other hand with the aim to engage and solve the problems presented. Both, the Academy ad the KE Hub, have secured significant funding beyond the grant period. |

It was delivered in partnership with JUNIPER - a UKRI funded consortium that comprises epidemiological modellers and statisticians across seven universities whose work feeds directly into government scientific advice channels such as SPI-M and SAGE. Following on from the November 2021 event series, this virtual workshop aimed to bring together the relevant scientific communities (epi-modellers and economic epidemiologists) to work on addressing current problems in modelling behaviour and its epidemiological, economic and societal implications for the COVID-19 pandemic. The following four problems were presented and potential solutions discussed. • Determining optimal interventions during pandemics - how do we define the appropriate objective function? • From pandemic to endemicity: is behaviour over or underweighted in modelling the COVID-19 pandemic? • Policy trade-offs between lives and livelihoods: how can we better target policies so as to shift out the policy frontier? • Behaviour and the Dynamics of Epidemics |

How can we embed communication and evaluation of its impact into research? As part of the day the organisers asked for suggestions and contributions on empirically evaluated or professionally specialised practice in current use. The aim to share understanding across as broad a range of applications as possible. This was also an important opportunity for networking within the community, with time allowed for this in the programme, including an evening drinks reception.

| Impact | This event was multi-disciplinary as the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative brings modelling expertise from a diverse range of disciplines to support the pandemic modelling community already working on Coronavirus (COVID-19). It was delivered in partnership with JUNIPER - a UKRI funded consortium that comprises epidemiological modellers and statisticians across seven universities whose work feeds directly into government scientific advice channels such as SPI-M and SAGE. This workshop focused on the use of quantitative modelling approaches to understand the evolutionary implications of vaccination programmes. Such approaches are key to developing optimal vaccination strategies and understanding which subgroups in society should be prioritised for vaccination against COVD-19. The aim of these 2 afternoon sessions was to understand the potential implications of different vaccination strategies on the evolutionary dynamics of COVID-19. A key goal of this event was to build links between epidemic modellers and the wider modelling community with interests in COVID-19, such as within-host modelling teams - including, but not limited to members of RAMP-initiated projects. |

| Impact | This event was multi-disciplinary as the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative brings modelling expertise from a diverse range of disciplines to support the pandemic modelling community already working on Coronavirus (COVID-19). It was developed in partnership with V-KEMS (Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences) - a partnership of senior mathematical academics and stakeholders which was set up in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim to identify a range of virtual approaches to help address challenges from business and industry, the third sector, and other groups outside academia. It brought mathematical scientists and other disciplines together to solve challenges faced by the hospitality and leisure sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. It helped to use mathematics as a tool to help solve the particular challenges hotels, restaurants and leisure facilities, such as cinemas, gyms and museums, are facing as a result of the pandemic. Unlike in previous study groups where the main focus was on modelling the spread of the infection, the theme of this event was about recovery from the pandemic with more of a focus on dealing with the operational difficulties and economic implications which have arisen. The study group addressed the following three areas of concern: • Ventilation of indoor facilities • Audience/customer risk perception • Scheduling/resource management. Five tailored short reports have been supplied to those who highlighted their challenges - UK Hospitality, University of Cambridge Sports Centre, Royal Opera House, Shakespeare's Globe and Independent Cinema Office.

| Collaborator Contribution | The partners helped identify speakers to attend to talk about the particular EME challenges and helped to develop the Programme. They facilitated some of the discussion sessions. |
| Impact | This workshop ran over two short days and followed on from three previous events which took place over the last 18 months. It was held in a hybrid format - with some delegates joining in person and others remotely. It formed part of a programme of work with Dstl and PA Consulting which began in 2019 and which seeks to apply mathematics to challenges in the electromagnetic environment (EME). This event reported back on what progress had been made and specifically on research endeavours and projects which have emanated from the previous research scoping workshops and study groups. It presented a number of new research challenges. The majority of the participants who came to the first meeting in January 2020 had not worked on problems of this type before and indeed many people had not worked on electromagnetics. This is fully aligned with the primary aim of this initiative to enable new thinking to come into this exciting field and why we strive towards development and establishment of a joined up multi-disciplinary UK community for this area. |

| Impact | A key aim of the modelling camp was to provide early career mathematicians with experience of hands-on mathematical modelling under the guidance of experienced instructors and mentors. This involves working on real-world challenges from industry or science as part of a team. The camp was open to all PhD students and was designed to promote a broad range of problem-solving skills, such as problem assessment, model building, analysis, scientific computation, & critical assessment of solutions. The camp provided experiential learning, rather than delivering any formal training. At the start of the camp, the mentors presented a range of challenges. The participants then formed teams to tackle a chosen challenge for the remainder of the camp. Scientific communication was an important part of the camp and each group were expected to make presentations on the final day. |

| Impact | This event was multi-disciplinary as the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative brings modelling expertise from a diverse range of disciplines to support the pandemic modelling community already working on Coronavirus (COVID-19). It was delivered in partnership with JUNIPER - a UKRI funded consortium that comprises epidemiological modellers and statisticians across seven universities whose work feeds directly into government scientific advice channels such as SPI-M and SAGE. This workshop focused on understanding the different factors which affect the generation time of COVID-19, as well as the interaction between these, which is important to be able to better assess what aspects of new variants may be of concern. The aim of this event was to hear talks related to each of the factors affecting the generation time, to try to understand current work and thinking in each area and in turn to try to identify how these may be more joined up. A key goal of this event was to build links between epidemic modellers and the wider modelling community with interests in COVID-19, such as within-host modelling teams - including, but not limited to members of RAMP-initiated projects. |

| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | The Newton Gateway to Mathematics helped identify speakers to attend helped to promote the event. The Gateway helped to facilitate some of the discussion. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partners project managed the delivery and hosting of the event - setting up the web page, identifying and inviting speakers, registrations and developing and provision of delegate materials and post-event evaluation. |
| Impact | This event was multi-disciplinary as the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative brings modelling expertise from a diverse range of disciplines to support the pandemic modelling community already working on Coronavirus (COVID-19). It was developed in partnership with V-KEMS (Virtual Forum for Knowledge Exchange in the Mathematical Sciences) - a partnership of senior mathematical academics and stakeholders which was set up in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim to identify a range of virtual approaches to help address challenges from business and industry, the third sector, and other groups outside academia. It brought mathematical scientists and other disciplines together to solve end user-defined challenges. This study group focused on supporting Local Authorities. It brought mathematical scientists and other disciplines together to solve challenges faced by the hospitality and leisure sector as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study group looked at supporting Local Authorities and 2 challenges were explored - Supporting Local Authorities, Landlords and Tenants in Preventing Homelessness Post Covid-19 and Supporting Local Authorities, Businesses and High-Streets Post Covid-19. A number of potential solutions were developed over the three days and a summary report has since been published. https://gateway.newton.ac.uk/sites/default/files/asset/doc/2202/VSG13_COMMUNITIES_OF_THE_FUTURE.pdf |
