Call for contributions

Call for contributions

The Internatioal Program Committee (IPC) for the 26^th ICMI Study invites submissions of contributions of several kinds, which include research, theoretical, and innovation papers on the four study topics, all of them pertaining to geometry education, namely: (a) theoretical perspectives; (b) curricular and methodological approaches; (c) resources for teaching and learning geometry; and (d) multidisciplinary perspectives.

Authors must select one topic and one of the sub-topics listed below each topic, from among the ones described in the Structure: Topics, Sub-topics, and Questions section of this Discussion Document, to which their paper must be submitted. To ensure a rich and varied discussion, participation from countries with different economic capacity and different social, political, or cultural heritage and practices is encouraged.

Authors have to adhere to the text styles and formats in the template document that can be found below in this page. Please, read it carefully for detailed instructions.

The IPC encourages early career researchers to submit their paper drafts at least one month in advance of the submission deadline (that is, by August 15, 2023) if they like to request assistance for finalizing their contribution. This assistance concerns its structure or the choice of the paper topic and sub-topic, not the writing of the text or the editing of English language. In this way, the IPC continues a tradition of helping newcomers to the international mathematics education community.

An invitation to the conference does not imply that a formal presentation of the submitted contribution will be made during the conference.

The accepted contributions will be included in an electronic volume of the Conference proceedings, to be made available prior to the conference on this website and also on the ICMI website. The proceedings will contain the accepted contributions as reviewed papers, so they can be cited as a refereed (peer-reviewed) publication with an ISBN number. The proceedings are published online only. Note that, for an accepted contribution to be included in the proceedings, the presenting author has to register by the end of the registration period (see Deadlines). For accepted papers to be included in the proceedings, the presenting author has to be registered by February 15, 2024.

 Submissions have to be made through the SciencesCONF system. If your proposal is accepted, you have to upload the final text using the NEW TEMPLATE below. Please include the Word file in the Additional Files box (page 3 of the submission) to avoid problems converting to PDF:

Participation

As is the usual practice for ICMI studies, participation in the Study Conference will be by invitation only. Proposed papers will be reviewed, and a selection will be made according to the quality of the work, the potential to contribute to the advancement of the Study, with explicit links to the themes proposed in this Discussion Document, and the need to ensure diversity among the perspectives and representation.

The number of invited participants will be limited to approximately 100 delegates. As part of the invitation process, you will receive a registration code, which will be required to complete registration details. Unfortunately, an invitation to participate in the conference does not imply financial support from the organizers, and participants should finance their own attendance at the conference.
