A number of ETCs are under planning for 2026. As soon as information is available, each of the conferences will be announced here, with links to their respective websites.
This ERME Topic Conference focuses on what it takes to get the learning of practice at the forefront, to infuse regard for teaching as a practice (in and outside the classroom) throughout the system of professional education (pre-service and in-service), in goals, design, activities, and assessments.

ETC 20: Feedback & Assessment in Mathematics Education – FAME2, Budapest, Hungary, 3-5 June, 2026
This ERME Topic Conference focuses on the assessment of mathematics part of mathematics education research. It deals with formative and summative assessment and related feedback, its consequences for students’ learning and its impact on teachers’ practices.
The heading of this post is linked to the website of the conference, and the first announcement can be found here.
The SCOPE-Math conference aims to explore the evolving landscape of STEM education, focusing particularly on mathematical modelling. As teaching, learning, and assessment practices continue to evolve in response to disruptive global events and increasing interconnectedness, the conference will address how STEM integration and mathematical modelling can respond to these changes in meaningful and innovative ways.

This conference is the fifth in a series of ETCs related to language in the learning and teaching of mathematics.
The topic of the conference includes all research highlighting the role of language and interaction in learning and teaching mathematics from kindergarten up to university mathematics, as well as research related to pre-service teacher education and professional development.

ETC 23: INDRUM2026, Dubrovnik, Croatia, 15-19 June, 2026
This conference is the sixth conference organised by the International Network for Didactic Research in University Mathematics (INDRUM), all of them ETCs.
INDRUM aims to contribute to the development of research in didactics of mathematics at all levels of tertiary education, with a particular focus on supporting new researchers in the field and on a dialogue between the communities of Mathematics and Mathematics Education.

This conference originates from the CERME TWG on Argumentation and Proof, which has been active for more than 20 years.
Argumentation and proof are widely studied topics in mathematics education at all levels. The conference will also address the need and relevance of developing research on argumentation and proof in mathematics education in interaction with other disciplines.

This conference is the eighth conference focusing on the theoretical framework ATD. CITAD5 in 2016 was the first ETC.
CITAD8 will be an opportunity to further engage in the theoretical and methodological debate by discussing the research praxeologies developed within the framework of the ATD. Contributions are expected to highlight the research praxeologies which are being developed and deployed, including new ATD concepts and tools or new uses of them.

ETC 26: MEDA 5 – Mathematics Education in the Digital Age, Linz, Austria, 14-18 September, 2026
This conference is the fifth MEDA- conference, and it is focused on the topic Mathematics, Technology, Interdisciplinarity.
The conference aims to explore the evolving intersections of Mathematics, Technology, and Interdisciplinarity, focusing on how more integrated approaches can reshape mathematics education to be more meaningful, inclusive, and future-ready. Key themes will include the role of formative assessment in supporting learner agency and growth, strategies for inclusive pedagogy that address equity and access, and the integration of sustainability as both a context and a goal within mathematics curricula.

ETC 27: GAME II – Game-based and Playful Approaches to Mathematics Education, Landau, Germany, 23-25 September, 2026
This is the second GAME-conference, and it wants to provide a meeting point for researchers in Mathematics Education who deal with issues related to the use of games in the teaching and learning of mathematics.
The conference will contain plenary activities as well as seminars and workshops in parallell sessions, and also a demonstration session where researchers and practitioners present games they have designed for students and teachers from local schools and kindergartens.

ETC 28: Collaborative Settings in Mathematics Teacher Education, Lisboa, Portugal, 29 June-1 July, 2026
This conference emerges from the activity in the TWG with the same name as the conference, TWG28, and it will follow up topics addressed at the recent CERMEs and other meetings.
Examples of collaborative settings are lesson studies, learning studies, teacher research groups and teacher design teams. The TWG which forms the basis for this ETC has discussed the particularity of collaborative settings in terms of e.g., organisational contexts, affective and emotional issues, and the particularity on knowledge creation and co-construction of professional knowledge.
