All proposals must be submitted through the Microsoft Conference Management Tool (CMT) system at the link below:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/CRUME2026
The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support. Papers that are not submitted through the CMT submission system will not be considered for review. Please make sure to upload your paper to the conference system before clicking ‘submit.’
Please access the Request for Proposals (RFP) for detailed information and requirements on submissions.
*Authorship Restrictions* To accommodate as many individual people as possible, there will be a limit of one first author contributed or preliminary submission allowed, one first author theoretical paper submission, and one first author poster submission allowed (a maximum of three first author submissions spread over the three tracks). There are no restrictions on the number of papers an author is listed on in total outside of first authorship.
Accessing the RUME Proposal Submission System
Log in.
If you have not used CMT before, click “Create Account.” The CMT will send notifications about the conference to the email address you use.
Make sure that you are accessing the submission portal for the 28th Annual Conference on Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education (CRUME 2026).
Click “Create new submission” and select the type of paper you are submitting.
Enter all the requested information in the submissions page:
Title
150-word (≤2000 character) abstract
Note: While an abstract for a poster submission is not required in the paper, it is required in the submission, this is what will be included in the program
Authors (list all authors on paper including those who do not wish to create an CMT account)
Check all of the “subject areas” boxes that best fit your paper. You must choose only one primary area (from Area Primary 01-10). You can choose up to four secondary areas. However, please select one of the content areas (Content Area 01-07), the methods (Method 01-03), and the theories (Theory 01-04). You are welcome to select a second area from Area Primary 01-10. The purpose of these subject areas is to best match your paper to reviewers with an expertise in those subject areas. They do not need to match the keywords you used in your paper.
Upload a PDF and docx version of your paper. This MUST be the masked version of your paper. Please download and use the provided template as the starting document to write your paper. This will help make sure margin and font requirements are not broken for the proceedings.
Note: The term "masked" is synonymous with "blinded" when referencing academic submissions. All norms surrounding "blinding" of a paper are exactly the same as "masking." This conference chooses to use the term masked for this process out of respect for the Blind community.
Do not include any attachments. They will not be considered.
On the next page, enter any people for whom reviewing your paper would be a conflict of interest (e.g., advisors, friends, etc.).
Note: At the time of your submission, only members of the Program Committee and anyone who has submitted a proposal prior to yours will be available. For example, your thesis advisor is a clear conflict, but if they did not submit a proposal for this conference their name would not be an option to select.
The next page will display the information for your submission. You will not receive a separate email confirmation for your submission.
Important note: Please return to your submission after the deadline has passed, and the latest by Monday, September 9th, 2025, 11:59pm US PT to update your reviewer conflict list. You will receive an email from the Program Chair when you are able to do this. Since the submission portal will be closed by then, names of all people who submitted a proposal to the conference that may not have been an option to select as conflicts at your time of a submission will be an option then. Completing this step will help prevent delays in the review process.
