Networks Supported by HIMR/INI

Supported by: INI-HIMR Network Support Programme

The Isaac Newton Institute (INI) – Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research (HIMR) Network Support Scheme offers funding to support mathematical sciences networks across the UK. These grants are designed to provide modest funding packages over 2 years so that these networks can continue and intensify their work, and new ones be formed. The INI-HIMR networks normally have several nodes and benefit a significant number of mathematicians.

Below is a list of networks jointly supported by the Heilbronn Institute and the Isaac Newton Institute.
