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.

ETC 19: Connecting the Learning of Mathematics Teaching to Practice, Prague, Czech Republic, 4-7 February, 2026

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.

When the conference website is available, a link will be inserted into this post. For questions, please contact Miguel Montes (miguel.montes [at] ddcc.uhu.es). Paper submission deadline is set to 19 September 2025.

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.

CERME15 will take place in Bratislava (Slovakia) 8-12 February 2027. The call to apply for new Thematic Working Groups has now been released – go to this link to find the complete call.

A proposal to establish a new TWG should contain well founded arguments for why it is needed. See details in the call. It is expected that no more than three new TWGs will be accepted.

Proposals should be submitted before 15 August 2025 to Andreas Eichler (eichler [at] mathematik.uni-kassel.de) and Dorota Lembrér (dorota.lembrer [at] mau.se). Chair and Co-Chair of the IPC for CERME15.

Kind regards,
Andreas Eichler, Dorota Lembrér, and Frode Rønning (president of ERME)

The Congress of ERME, the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education, has seen a steady growth in the number of participants up to its present level of about 900 participants. The recent CERME 14 in Bozen-Bolzano gathered 850 participants from more than 50 countries. 

CERME 15 is already planned to be held in Bratislava in February 2027, and then we need to start planning for CERME 16 in 2029. 

The ERME board calls for mathematics education research groups willing to do an important service to the functioning of the community by submitting a bid to host the next congress. (Note that commercial conference agencies can not apply alone, only mathematics education research groups, possibly with the help of conference agencies).

For further details about what the bid should contain, please see the complete call on this link. 

Bids should be submitted before 26 September 2025 by email to

Frode Rønning, President of ERME, frode.ronning@ntnu.no

If you have any questions on planning and necessities of the congress, 
do not hesitate to ask Frode Rønning.

The ERME Board would like to invite all TWGs to apply for organising ERME Topic Conferences (ETCs) in 2026. As the growth of CERME cannot continue beyond its present level, ETCs can be a good way to include more people into the spirit of ERME. An ETC needs not be limited to one TWG, but a collaboration between two or more TWGs could open perspectives that are not easily accommodated within CERME.

On this link you can find the complete call for ETCs to be held in 2026. Proposals must be submitted no later than 15 August, 2025, but we will handle proposals as soon as we can when we receive them.

Kind regards,
Berta Barquero, Zelha Tunç-Pekkan and Frode Rønning (see email adresses in the call)

I would like to express my thanks for the confidence I have been shown by being elected the new president of ERME. Also, I would like to repeat from the Closing Session my sincere thanks to everybody who has worked hard, both locally and internationally, to make CERME14 in Bozen-Bolzano such a great success.

I will also repeat here the announcements that I included in the Closing Session so that they are known to everybody:

• CERME15 will be held in Bratislava, Slovakia, 08-12 February, 2027
• YESS14, summer school for young researchers, will be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, 02-07 August, 2026. Announcement will follow.

Then there is CERME16, which is still completely open. A call for bids will be launched on the ERME site. Also, a call for proposals to arrange ETCs in 2026 will be launched on the ERME site.

Kind regards,
Frode

In Bozen-Bolzano (Italy) about 900 members of ERME are busy at the CERME14 conference, enjoying the excellent modern facilites at the NOI campus of University of Bozen. You can access a growing gallery of photos from the event here.

At the ERME General Meeting, Frode Rønning (Norway) was elected President of ERME. Also, the following new members of the board were elected: Berta Barquero (Spain), Derya Diana Cosan (Denmark, YR representative), Hanna Palmér (Sweden) and Florian Schacht (Germany).

Here is the agenda for the general meeting. The minutes of the previous General Meeting are here. As for the board elections, the following candidates have been proposed:

For president: Frode Rønning (Norway)

For regional representative (South West Europe): Berta Barquero (Spain)

For non-regional representatives: Hanna Palmér (Sweden) and Florian Schacht (Germany)

For YERME representative: Derya Cosan (Denmark) and Tim Läufer (Germany)

Except for the YERME representative, where 1 is to be elected, there is exactly one candidate for each of the vacant positions. For these, the election will be a “yes/no” vote.

You can find proposers and statements of the candidates here.

At CERME14, new members of the ERME board, as well as a new president of ERME, will be elected. Candidates must be nominated using this form before December 20, 2024. Note that candidates must be registered for CERME14, while proposers can be any ERME member (having participated in at least one CERME). Note also that a regional representative of South-West Europe, as well as a representative of young researchers, will be elected this time.

CERME14 has received a record high number of contributions – the attraction of CERME thus continues to grow, as it has done since the beginning.

Here is how this will affect CERME14.

The ERME summer school for young researchers (YESS13) has come to an end, and was a big success! Participants, the LOC team and all the leaders are very pleased with the organisation of YESS13. Many expressed that it was hard work but very satisfying.
