International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME)

The International Congress on Mathematical Education is the largest international conference on mathematics education in the world. This quadrennial event is organised under the auspices of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction and explores current global trends in mathematics education research and mathematics teaching practices at all levels.

ICME-16 is set to take place in the heart of Europe—Prague, Czech Republic on July 9-16, 2028. Our venue, O2 Universum, is ready to welcome thousands of participants, and we are aiming for an incredible turnout!

The preparations for this prestigious congress are well underway. First and foremost, during the ICMI EC meeting on July 5, 2024, ICMI established the International Programme Committee, bringing together professionals from around the world. Their first onsite meeting is scheduled for September 15–19, 2025, in Prague. This early start gives us plenty of time to shape a rich and dynamic program, ensuring that all invited speakers and presenters are confirmed well in advance.

A special highlight of ICME-16 will be the Regional Focus programme which will depict shared history and wealth of insights of Central and Eastern European Countries involved in the organisation of the Congress. A dedicated group of ambassadors from 12 countries has come together to explore the theme: Mathematics communities, curriculum, and teaching in the 1970s/80s, the 1990s, and today. Researchers across the region have already begun collaborating on various aspects of this important topic.
