In relation to this matter, we believe that the ICME-15 Organizers were acting with the goal of maintaining a safe and respectful environment according to the Code of Conduct which had been made known to all participants. We are saddened by Prof Subramanian’s removal from the Congress and the distress and insult that she has experienced, and since ICMEs are organized under the auspices of ICMI, the ICMI EC would like to offer our apology to Prof Subramanian.
