CALL for ABSTRACTS of PAPERS and WORKSHOPSPlease send the abstract (max 12 lines) of your proposal for a paper or workshop to be presented at the conference. Once your abstract has been accepted we will send you detailed guidelines to prepare your final paper or workshop summary.

We welcome papers and workshops that deal with all aspects of innovation, especially those helping to make our subject more "alive", "realistic" and "accessible" to students. In line with the conference theme, we also welcome papers that show how prior work in the teaching and learning of mathematics has laid the foundation for future directions and innovations. We have an open policy to accept in the programme not only peer-refereed papers, but also workshops and contributions from teachers discussing their innovative work in the classroom.

Project and Conference Details How did our conferences start?In the 1970s the annual conferences of the CIEAEM in Europe were distinguished by their friendly, and relaxed programme and were always held in beautiful places. Those early CIEAEM Conferences were the model for our Project Conferences and are highly appreciated by participants according to their feedback. We always meet in a beautiful place, so that the relaxing and supportive atmosphere will stimulate us to work together. King’s College, Cambridge in 2021 will be just such a place!

Our InvitationOur conferences are renowned for their friendly and productive working atmosphere and are attended by innovative teachers and mathematics educators from all over the world – for example 44 countries were represented at our 2009 conference in Dresden, Germany. The conference in Cambridge follows on from our fifteen previous Project Conferences held in the following places: next to the pyramids in Cairo in 1999, in the historic Holy Land in Jordan in 2000, a country retreat in Poland in 2001, where the Great Barrier Reef meets the rain forest in Australia in 2001, on the beautiful coast of Sicily in 2002, in Brno, the historic capital of Moravia, Czech Republic in 2003, in Ciechocinek, a historic spa town in Poland in 2004, in Malaysia overlooking the Straits of Johor in 2005, in the scenic surroundings of Charlotte, North Carolina, USA in the New World in 2007, in the splendour of Dresden in 2009, amidst the natural beauty of South Africa in 2011, on the spectacular Balkan coast of Montenegro in 2014, in the historic island of Sicily in Catania in 2015, at Balatonfured in Hungary on the shores of Lake Balaton in 2017 and in the charming town of Maynooth in the Irish countryside in 2019.

The Conference is organised by the Mathematics Education for the Future Project – an independent international educational initiative coordinated by Dr. Alan Rogerson (Poland/UK). Since its inception in 1986, our Project has received support and funding from many educational bodies and institutions throughout the world including ICMI, ICME, The British Council & UNESCO. In 1992 UNESCO published our Project Handbook "Moving Into the 21st Century" as Volume 8 in the UNESCO series Studies In Mathematics Education.

The Mathematics Education for the Future Project is dedicated to the improvement of mathematics education worldwide through the dissemination of innovative ideas and materials. Many prominent mathematics educators have supported our project, including the late Tatsuro Miwa, Hans Freudental, Andrejs Dunkels and Hilary Shuard, as well as Bruce Meserve and Marilyn Suydam, Alan Osborne and Margaret Kasten, Mogens Niss, Tibor Nemetz, Ubi D’Ambrosio, Brian Wilson, Henry Pollak, Werner Blum, Roberto Baldino, Waclaw Zawadowski, and many others throughout the world.
