(MEDA) from 5-7 September 2018 at the University of Copenhagen. This will be an interdisciplinary, multifaceted collaboration that will bring together participants who would normally attend a range of CERME Thematic Working Groups. The International Programme Committee particularly welcomes theoretical, methodological, empirical or developmental papers and poster proposals in relation to the following conference themes: * Mathematics teacher education and professional development in the digital age: the specific knowledge, skills and attributes required for efficient/effective mathematics teaching with digital resources; the design and evaluation of mathematics teacher education and professional development programmes that embed the knowledge, skills and attributes to teach mathematics with digital resources. * Mathematics curriculum development and task design in the digital age: the design, evaluation and analysis of resources and tasks; the interactions of teachers and students with digital curriculum materials. * Theoretical perspectives and methodologies/approaches for researching mathematics education in the digital age: theories for research on technology use in mathematics education; the linking of theoretical and methodological approaches and the identification of conditions for productive dialogue between theorists, within mathematics education and beyond. For more information please see the first announcement on http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/2018/meda/ The deadline for submissions of papers and proposals is March 01, 2018.
