ICME-12: All TSGs are calling for contributions
One very important part of ICME-12 is the TOPIC STUDY GROUPs (TSGs). They are alloted 4 blocks of 1h 30m during the Congress and cover 37 different topics of Mathematics Education. It is a major opportunity to hear, comment and discuss some very important issues. All participants are expected to associate themselves with one TSG and to stay in that same group for all four sessions.
All TSGs have now launched their call for contributions and are waiting now for your proposals. All deadlines are the same, namely
