YERME Day 2015

The YERME Day (for Young Researchers in ERME) will be held one day before the CERME 9 Congress. It will take place on February, 3-4, 2015 at Charles University in Prague, Faculty of Education, M. Rettigové 4, Praha 1 (www.pedf.cuni.cz).

YERME Day provides an opportunity for participants to meet key European researchers in mathematics eduction, getting to know about their work and methodological appoaches. In addition, YERME Day constitues an important networking possibility for meeting young researchers from other countries, pursuing similar and not so similar research issues.

The programme foresees several plenary presentations, three working groups (WG) and three discussion groups (DG). These groups will last for three hours and will be led by ERME board members as well as key scholars in European Mathematics Education from different academic traditions.

Participants may be PhD students, master’s degree students, recently graduated post-doctors (5 years), PhD researchers who are moving towards mathematics education coming from other fields. To be accepted participants need to also register for CERME. Attendance in YERME Day, WG e DG is done by order of registration and is free of charge.
