| 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. During the pandemic the INI has supported the Royal Society's Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) initiative through its own virtual Infectious Dynamics of Pandemics programme. It is presently supporting the set-up of the Academy for the Mathematical Sciences and the Knowledge Exchange Hub. Broader national reach of its unique programmes is delivered through satellite programmes and network activities. |
| Exploitation Route | In March 2013, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences launched the Turing Gateway to Mathematics, now renamed the Newton Gateway. It is an impact initiative of the INI and aims to stimulate the interchange of knowledge and ideas between academics of different disciplines and users of modern mathematics. The Gateway is a channel for collaboration and cooperation between academia and industry. It will help to shorten pathways to impact and increase access to modern mathematical methods for other industrial and academic areas. Since the Gateway was established, it has consolidated its presence, delivering a range of activities across a number of different themes and sectors including financial risk, space and security sectors, infectious diseases, public policy, and data driven engineering. |

| Description | The science undertaken at the Institute covers the widest possible range from Astronomy to Zoology; our role is to disseminate the use of cutting-edge mathematics and statistics in all of these areas. Reports from the organisers of the completed programmes are available on the Institute's website, with details of publications and lectures for downloading on www.newton.ac.uk/. The Newton Gateway (formerly the Turing Gateway to Mathematics) is actively involved with Impact Acceleration and Knowledge Exchange in the mathematical sciences nationally, see gateway.newton.ac.uk/ In March 2013, the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences launched the Turing Gateway to Mathematics. Its mission statement (and that of its successor, the Newton Gateway) is to act as a channel for the flow of knowledge and ideas between the mathematical sciences and the users of mathematics. It does this by facilitating interactions and activities such as programmes of work, events, projects, education and training in areas where maths skills are needed. Acting as a gateway between academic mathematicians and industry, government, and other disciplines, it helps to widen access to mathematics generally and shorten pathways to impacts. Since the Gateway was established, it has consolidated its presence, delivering a range of activities across a number of different themes and sectors ranging from financial risk, through space and security sectors, Big Data to public policy. In addition to running visitor research programmes, the Isaac Newton Institute brings academic researchers in the mathematical sciences together with industrial, commercial and government organisations and individuals through activities such as Open for Business events. The success of these (see www.newton.ac.uk /outreach/open-for-business) together with follow-on activity for the research programmes is a key element of the Newton Gateway initiative. But it now offers much more, nurturing and expanding engagement opportunities for, and strategic relationships with, the public sector, academia and industry. This has been achieved by facilitating interactions and activities such as programmes of work, study groups, workshops, research and training programmes, as well as less formal, small working groups in which academics and business personnel collaborate. During the pandemic, the Newton Gateway has continued to sport industry and government, albeit via virtual means, and has enhanced its response to societal issues via its joint work through the award winning V-KEMS (https://www.vkemsuk.org/). |

| 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. 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 |

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 three-day study group gave participants the opportunity to explore a number of new challenges in depth during break-out sessions with the expectation that innovative maths led approaches will arise. 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. |

Contributions from other stakeholders included areas such as transport, retail, urban environments, local policy making and the wider societal implications such as in urban poverty and inequalities. This two-day science meeting brought together two longer term research activities - urban analytics and human dynamics in small spaces. These RAMP-initiated projects are inter-related and differ mainly in terms of geographical scale. This event therefore helped fulfil a key aim to maintain strong communication links between them, as well as extending to other relevant communities around COVID-19. It sought to continue to gain further insights as lockdown restrictions were loosened in order to provide supporting evidence and assistance to the scientists advising the government on national and local policy responses using urban analytics and spatial modelling. There are important implications for extending these models to embrace key social and economic issues that result from the pandemic and will be explored through future workshops. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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). Contributions from other stakeholders included ASM Global, Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Church of England and Bath Rugby Club. 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. The study group covered the spectrum of large events and heard from organisers who were running a variety of events - large indoor gatherings; large outdoor festival type gatherings and large outdoor events where attendees were seated. Researchers modelled the impact of queuing geometries, staggering arrival times, signage, and some process of pre-checking to provide insight for the event organisers. Since the event, participants have collaborated to develop a working paper https://gateway.newton.ac.uk/sites/default/files/asset/doc/2109/COVID19%20Safety%20in%20Large%20Events%20Report.pdf |
