The MESS (short for Mathematics Education Seminar Series) is a regular meeting for people involved in mathematics courses at the University of Groningen. We exchange good practices and ideas on maths education, share practical tips/advice, discuss common challenges, and present our teaching experiments in an informal setting. Have a look at our meeting schedule and the resources we collected. You can read a bit more about the MESS below. Feel free to contact us if you have questions or suggestions.
