ICMI Studies

A major ICMI programme is the series of ICMI Studies. This set of activities was
launched in the mid-1980s and has acquired a growing importance and influence on
the field. It contributes to a better understanding and resolution of the challenges that
face multidisciplinary and culturally diverse research and development in mathematics
education. Each Study focuses on a topic or issue of prominent current interest in
mathematics education. Built around an international conference, it is directed towards
the preparation of a published volume intended to promote and assist discussion
and action at the international, regional or institutional level. Several ICMI studies,
which have already hold their study conference, will present their results.
