PME is an extraordinary organisation, and its strength lies in you.

Oh Nam KwonRepublic of Korea · President 2026

The strength of PME comes from its members—the researchers, educators, and students who contribute their ideas, time, and passion.

Together with a membership that forms a real community, truly committed to ‘their’ PME, this makes that IGPME stands strong in turbulent times.

Wim van DoorenBelgium · President 2025

The commitment of PME members gives the organization resilience and continuity across changing times and circumstances.

I really miss the live and lively discussions face to face in the conference rooms, the lobbies, over coffee breaks, during excursions, and over informal dinners.

Markku HannulaFinland · President 2021

The spirit of PME is found not only in presentations and publications, but also in the conversations, friendships, and collaborations that emerge when people meet.

Every time we approve another project, I am reminded what an amazing organisation PME is.

Peter LiljedahlCanada · President 2019

PME’s collective efforts extend beyond the annual conference to support research, collaboration, and mathematics education communities worldwide.

Regarding inclusion: we wish to include researchers at all levels from all countries.

Barbara JaworskiUnited Kingdom · President 2014

From established scholars to beginning researchers, PME seeks to be an international and inclusive community where all members can participate and contribute.

It is in our hands as a community to make this a great conference and a special moment for the PME membership.

João Filipe MatosPortugal · President 2013

PME succeeds because its members actively contribute to advancing mathematics education research and to one another’s professional growth.
