Management Science professor's appointment extended at Sir Isaac Newton Institute

The appointment of Professor Kerem Akartunali, Department of Management Science, to the management committee of the Sir Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge (https://www.newton.ac.uk/) has been extended to a second term.  

As a leading national research institute for mathematical sciences and their applications over a wide range of science and technology, the institute is devoted to support interdisciplinary research programmes that attract leading national and international scientists. Since its opening in 1992, 27 Fields Medallists, nine Nobel Laureates, 23 winners of a Wolf Prize and 12 winners of the Abel Prize have attended Institute programmes.

The Institute and its ongoing activities are funded from a wide variety of sources including the University of Cambridge, and a large rolling grant from EPSRC.  Many other institutions and individuals have also made donations to the Institute, including NM Rothschild and Sons, Hewlett-Packard, the Dill Faulkes Foundation, Leverhulme Trust, CNRS, Rosenbaum Foundation, PF Charitable Trust, London Mathematical Society, Prudential Corporation plc and the Clay Mathematics Institute.

The Management Committee is responsible for overall control of the budget of the Institute, and for its short-term and long-term financial planning, under the guidance of the Director of Institute. Professor Akartunali will carry out his duties in the committee until the end of 2028, when his second term will expire.
