How did our conferences start?
In the 1970s the annual conferences of the CIEAEM in Europe were distinguished by their friendly and relaxed programme and were always held in beautiful places. We too always meet in a beautiful place, so that the relaxing atmosphere will stimulate us to work together. King’s College, Cambridge in 2022 was just such a place!
The Symposium is organised by the Mathematics Education for the Future Project – which is an independent educational philanthropic non-profit association coordinated by Dr. Alan Rogerson (Poland/UK). Since its inception in 1986 our Project has received support and funding from many universities and especially ICMI, ICME, the British Council and UNESCO.
In 1992 UNESCO published our Project Handbook "Moving Into the 21st Century" as Volume 8 in the UNESCO series Studies In Mathematics Education.
Our conferences are renowned for their friendly and productive working atmosphere and are attended by innovative teachers and mathematics educators from all over the world and all 6 continents – for example 44 countries were represented a tour 2009 conference in Dresden, Germany.
The Oxford Symposium in 2023 follows 16 previous Project Conferences

M artin Stein is the owner and manager of the publishing company WTM-Verlag who publish our proceedings.
I founded this company in 2006, publishing dissertations, conference reports and monographs of all kind as long as they belong to the field of mathematics education. The different series of books have editors to provide quality control. WTM provide a good service for a small price, so that doctoral students can get their dissertations printed. We also publish Open Access books for the organisers of international conferences and distribute DOI for all books.
