The General Board give notice that, on the recommendation of the Management Committee, they have approved amendments to the regulations for the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 633), namely those for the Scientific Steering Committee, and the Rothschild Visiting Professorship, as set out below, with effect from 1 August 2012.
The revised regulations reflect the current pattern of funding from Research Councils and the Institute’s relationship with multidisciplinary research. The opportunity is also taken to amend the regulations for the Rothschild Visiting Professorships Fund in the light of current advice on the taxation of emoluments.
By amending regulations 1 and 2 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 633) so as to read:
1. There shall be a Scientific Steering Committee which, while taking into account its national and international responsibilities and its need for expertise across the mathematical sciences including multidisciplinary applications, shall consist of:
(a)the Director;
(b)four persons appointed by the General Board after consultation with the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council which will represent the views of other Research Councils in this process;
(c)two persons appointed by the General Board after consultation with the London Mathematical Society;
(d)six persons appointed by the General Board after consultation with the Councils of the Schools of the Physical Sciences, Technology, the Biological Sciences, Clinical Medicine, and the Humanities and Social Sciences, and those national scientific bodies listed in a Schedule to be approved from time to time by the General Board for this purpose;
(e)one additional person co-opted at the discretion of the Committee.
2. Members in classes (b), (c), and (d) shall serve for four years from 1 January following their appointment. A co-opted member in class (e) shall serve until 31 December of the year in which he or she is co-opted or of the year next following, as the Committee shall determine at the time of co-optation.
By amending regulation 1 (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 635) so as to read:
1. The sum donated by N. M. Rothschild & Sons shall constitute a fund called the Rothschild Visiting Professorships Fund from which the stipend, travelling expenses, and subsistence allowance of Rothschild Visiting Professors and the travelling expenses and subsistence allowance of Rothschild Distinguished Visiting Fellows shall be paid.
