INI NEWS BULLETIN
April 2021
Dear friends, associates and supporters of INI,
Welcome to the April 2021 edition of our monthly news bulletin, we hope the spring weather is bringing with it a renewed sense of hope and possibilities for the future. We have three main items for you this time around, including: a reminder to register for our upcoming "bridging" workshops, a video recording of Dr Emily Shuckburgh's Cambridge Festival talk, and a short health and safety film highlighting the ways in which INI has been made COVID secure for the return of staff and visitors.
Do remember to keep an eye on the latest seminars in the ongoing "Applicable resurgent asymptotics: towards a universal theory" programme, and to follow us on Twitter (and to a lesser extent Instagram and Facebook) for regular updates of our activities throughout the month.
Thanks as always for your continued support.

WORKSHOPS: a selection of forthcoming virtual "bridging" events with deadlines soon approaching.
Please find below a trio of posters relating to workshops due to be held in the coming months, all of which are currently open to applications. In all cases these are bridging workshops to programmes delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Feel free to share these details and poster amongst your networks as you see fit.
> New connections in number theory and physics [24-28 May]: apply by 02/05/21
The purpose of this interdisciplinary programme is to investigate connections between various fields of theoretical physics, in particular string theory and statistical models of crystals, and the theory of automorphic forms, mock modular forms and beyond. The non-perturbative structure of string theory has led to new uses of automorphic forms that have already appeared in number theory, as well as new exotic automorphic objects that have not yet been encountered.
> Verified software: tools and experiments [7-11 June]: apply by 03/05/21
The Tools and Experiments workshop is aimed at defining an integrated tool resources for automated formal methods with standardized interfaces and interchange and data/evidence formats that allow services and arguments to be composed and test cases and counterexamples to be shared across different formal models. The goal of the INI Virtual Workshop is to lay the foundation for powerful automated tools and integrated tool suites that can be deployed in a range of large-scale experiments and case studies. The workshop will include a special event marking the 60th anniversary of Tony Hoare's invention of Quicksort.
> New horizons in dispersive hydrodynamics [21-25 June]: apply by 23/05/21
This bridging workshop aims at exploring novel, cross-disciplinary connections of dispersive hydrodynamics within the four main themes of the forthcoming 6-month programme “Dispersive hydrodynamics: mathematics, simulations and experiments, with applications in nonlinear waves”
CAMBRIDGE FESTIVAL: recording of Dr Emily Shuckburgh's talk now available to view online
We are pleased to say that a recording of Dr Emily Shuckburgh's Cambridge Festival talk "Mathematics: a toolkit to tackle climate chage" is now available to view via our website. Many thanks again to those that attended this virtual event, and to Dr Shuckburgh herself for her myriad insights.
As the UK - and global - vaccination programmes progress, INI is gradually reopening its doors to its staff and visitors. In this short video, we highlight the ways in which the building has been adapted to ensure a safe and secure environment in which to work and collaborate once more.
