Heilbronn Distinguished Visiting Fellows


The Heilbronn Institute has been supporting the Isaac Newton Institute scientific programmes since 2018. It provides partial funding to visits by distinguished mathematicians from around the world. Heilbronn Distinguished Visiting Fellows are usually invited to visit and give a research colloquium at the Heilbronn Institute’s partner Universities in Bristol, London and Manchester. We are very pleased to be able to support these programmes, and to continue our collaboration with the Newton Institute.

A listing of all Heilbronn Distinguished Visiting Fellows, together with their associated programmes, is provided below.
