Awardee Lectures

The International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) grants three awards recognizing outstanding achievements in mathematics education, which are awarded every four years at the Opening Ceremony of ICME. The Felix Klein Award, named after the first president of ICMI (1908–1920), honors lifetime achievements. The Hans Freudenthal Award, named after the eighth president of ICMI (1967–1970), recognizes a major cumulative program of research. The Emma Castelnuovo Award, named after the Italian mathematics educator (1913–2014), recognizes outstanding achievements in the practice of mathematics education.

One-hour lectures will be presented by the scholars who receive ICMI Awards at ICME-16. These include the Felix Klein Award, the Hans Freudenthal Award, and the Emma Castelnuovo Award.

ICMI AMOR - International Commission on Mathematical Instruction Awardees Resources

Based on the research and work of the ICMI Awardees, this project aims at building online resources reflecting highly significant and influential research in mathematics education at an international level, that could serve as a reference not only for researchers in the field, but also for educators, teachers, curriculum writers,  policymakers, and other agents in the field. In particular, the project could serve as a basis for a PhD training program and introduction into mathematics education research.
