[Profs Mat:9171] Fwd: ICME-15: TSG Submissions Closing 15 September 2023

From the Convener

One of the many focal points of the 15th International Congress on Mathematical Education is to create a inclusive event at which people who are passionate about mathematics and statistics education can come together and connect with like-minded colleagues from around the globe to create lasting local, regional, and global legacies in our field.

Our team has been planning to ensure that this congress incorporates initiatives to that align with our inclusive and sustainable goals. Legacy alongside Indigenous themes are at the forefront of planning. The Committee is excited to share the unique culture and history that Australian First Nations have to offer. We've just released our next instalment in ICME-15 Announcements which goes into detail about ICME-15 initiatives and encourage you to download and share with colleagues. 

Sydney, renowned for its vibrant culture, awe-inspiring scenery, and rich history, is the ideal host city for this prestigious international gathering. In addition to the engaging scientific program, we have an exciting lineup of social events and excursions planned, providing you with an opportunity to immerse yourself in the best of this magnificent city and its surroundings. The networking opportunities during your stay in Sydney will undoubtedly lead to valuable and lasting connections.

Mark your calendar and make plans to be part of ICME-15 from July 7th to 14th, 2024, in Sydney. Come and be counted with us!

Warm regards,

ICME-15 Logo Design Story

Our locally designed ICME-15 logo was inspired by the traditional art of First Nations Australians. It was designed by Saretta Fielding, an Aboriginal Women of the Wonnarua Nation.

The design represents delegates at the 2024 Congress gathering from across the world, depicted by the four smaller gathering circles, which cluster around a larger gathering circle that represents ICME-15.

This design also highlights how stepping stones provide the ability to expand our knowledge, as we grow and learn more about the importance of mathematics in our everyday lives, represented by the largest gathering circle. Watch the video below to learn more about the ICME-15 logo design.
