Convincing scam alert

We have been made aware of a convincing email scam that is focusing on our events at the Newton Gateway and at Isaac Newton Institute Programme and Workshop participants. Participants may receive an email from a firm called Expo Hotel Services (ehotelservices.org)  or Traveller Point (travellerpoint.org) to arrange accommodation for workshops and/or programmes. This might include a request to provide them with credit card information.

Please note, INI or the Newton Gateway to Mathematics will never ask for your card details. We take all payments via the University of Cambridge Online store https://onlinesales.admin.cam.ac.uk/.

If you have been contacted by this company please contact us as soon as possible.

Newton Gateway Events

The Newton Gateway to Mathematics delivers activity across a broad range of sectors and engages in partnership with the users of mathematics - academics from other disciplines, those from industry and the public sector. 
Activities are bespoke and may originate from the need to address a specific technical issue or look for a better solution. Alternatively, they could be in response to the need to obtain ideas for next generation solutions from mathematicians involved in frontier research.

Activities take a number of forms:

  • Events - workshops and consultations
  • Training programmes
  • Short to medium-term research programmes
  • Projects

The Newton Gateway delivers Open for Business knowledge exchange events on behalf of the Isaac Newton Institute. These are specifically designed to bring together industrial, commercial and government organisations with mathematical scientists and can be run as part of an ongoing research programme, or as an independent event.

Coping with Big Data - an analytics and computational perspective

Wednesday 7th January 2015

As the amount of data collected and generated continues to skyrocket, so
do the challenges for effective analysis across a growing range of
application areas. Such Big Data analysis now drives nearly every aspect
of society, including life and physical sciences, retail,
manufacturing, financial services. But with increasing data volumes and
an ability to measure and store data on a scale never before seen, comes
a number of challenges. New approaches in collection, processing,
storage and analysis are required in order to derive new knowledge and
deliver benefits from this unprecedented access to information.

Maths and Public Policy

Wednesday 10th December 2014

Public policy forms the framework by which government and non-governmental organisations work to resolve social, economic and political issues in society. This in turn determines the allocation and distribution of the resources needed to achieve these goals. State-of-the-art mathematical techniques, methodologies and expertise can greatly improve modelling and problem-solving in policy making, ensuring that policies are fit-for-purpose and much more effective.

Understanding Microbial Communities - Developing the Potential - Open for Business Event

Thursday 4th December 2014

The importance of microbial communities for health, industry and the
natural environment cannot be overstated. Despite this, there is an
enormous gap between the levels of our empirical knowledge of microbial
communities' composition and experimental and theoretical understanding
of their function, structure, and dynamics. This is why the development
and advancement of combined mathematical and experimental approaches for
the study of microbial communities has a huge potential for this field.

Techniques for Data Linkage and Anonymisation

Thursday 23rd October 2014

The two areas - data linkage and anonymisation - are fundamentally
interdisciplinary. With this in mind, this workshop brought together
leading experts from a variety of relevant disciplines, including
mathematics, computer science and statistics, as well as those from
other related disciplines. Likewise, a key objective was to gain input
from key stakeholders, with expertise in specific application domains,
such as educationalists, official statisticians, medical researchers,
commercial organisations, epidemiologists and others.

Systemic Risk and Macro-Prudential Regulation: Perspectives from Network Analysis Open for Business Event

Monday 13th October 2014

This Open for Business event was part of an Isaac Newton Institute
research programme on Systemic Risk and was co-organised with the Bank
of England and the Turing Gateway to Mathematics. This one day workshop
highlighted recent research contributions and regulatory initiatives,
with an emphasis on the role played by network models in understanding
systemic risk.
