King's International Conference in 2027
King's College, Cambridge University will be our venue again for our next international conference in 2027, following our successful King's conference in 2022 (see below).
This will last 5 nights B&B (with 4 working days) and King's have offered these dates: Five nights within the period August 23 to 29 OR the five nights: Aug 30-Sep 3, 2027.
Unlike almost all other conferences, we always ask potential delegates first to tell us ALL the dates they are free to attend within the above two periods.
This is so that eventually we can easily identify and choose the most popular 5 day block for most delegates and so maximise your attendance.
If you are interested in joining us, please email rogersona8@gmail.com with ALL the above dates it is possible for you to attend.
Please do NOT send ONLY your most preferred dates, but all the possible dates you are free to come, so we can fix the most popular 5 NIGHTS for the majority of delegates.
We will send you later details of the Theme for this Conference and the deadlines for abstracts and papers, to be published in the ISBN/DOI/ORCHID Proceedings.
All lead authors will receive a Proceedings Ebook before the conference starts.
We hope to meet and work with you next year in King's,
Alan and Jasia, Conference Organisers.
Dr. Alan Rogerson
D.Phil (Oxon), M.Sc., B.Sc., B.A. (Lon), Dip.Ed., Cert. Ed. (King's, Cantab).
International Coordinator and CEO of the Mathematics Education for the Future Project (founded 1986)

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. They were the model for all our conferences starting in 1999, We 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 was organised by the Mathematics Education for the Future Project – an independent educational philanthropic association coordinated 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 at our 2009 conference in Dresden, Germany.

Our Conference Proceedings
Were published after ALL our conferences since 1999 and are now being published by Martin Stein, the owner and manager of his publishing company WTM-Verlag. Martin wrote:
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.
