Dear Lena,

We are excited to announce that the newly designed ICMI Newsletter is finally here!

In the last few months, we have been working to revamp our newsletter to improve your experience. Now, you can follow our news on-the-go directly via your email or browser, without having to download any external files. If you have any thoughts or feedback regarding the newsletter, we welcome you to drop us a message anytime!

This ICMI Newsletter comes as a special edition to announce the call for nominations for three future ICMI Awards to be presented during ICME-15 in 2024 and to announce the call for proposals for future ICMI Studies.

The Award ceremony for the previous 2017, 2019 and 2020 Awards will be held during the Opening Ceremony of ICME-14 on July 12th.

We also would like to take this opportunity to remind the community to register for ICME-14 here <https://62s8s.r.ah.d.sendibm4.com/mk/cl/f/LmHA81bt4aXwSpTiHxjZAb_BXTPlBMxZ_3sluX-5om-Tprwcoq8dLZPpE7TV_LRUVYOU2q_Wj8VVVvsZnej24ErLtgxgIZ27A4UCi7T0Y9KNZaRhgoIPiW6zBK1MHd5Hk-6QTlFVkYyJ1afyQcYYIZ5nbw1cTBj8WpRz-1f5YpVKcPc>! Please note that June 20th, 2021 (Beijing Time) is the last day for registration and payment.

Yours truly,

Call for Nominations 

Emma Castelnuovo Award
The Emma Castelnuovo Award recognizes outstanding achievements in the practice of mathematics education consistent with ICMI’s principles:
the development of mathematical education at all levels and;
the promotion of reflection, collaboration, exchange, and dissemination of ideas on the teaching and learning of mathematics from the primary to the university level.
The award was named after Emma Castelnuovo (1913-2014), an Italian mathematics educator, in celebration of her 100th birthday and to honour her pioneering work.

The first Emma Castelnuovo medal was awarded to Hugh Burkhardt and Malcolm Swan in 2016 at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME-13) in Hamburg, Germany.

Deadline for nominations: November 30, 2022.

Felix Klein and Hans Freudenthal Award
Starting in 2003, the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction (ICMI) has given two awards to recognize outstanding accomplishments in mathematics education research: 
the Felix Klein Award, for lifelong achievement in mathematics education research
the Hans Freudenthal Award, for a major program of research on mathematics education
As of 2024, these awards will be given quadrennially, during the year that an ICME is held. The call for 2024 is now open! Please consider nominating a worthy candidate.
This is our mechanism for highlighting the contributions of major scholars who have moved the field forward through focused research programs and lifetime contributions.

Felix Klein Award
The Felix Klein medal is awarded for life-time achievement in mathematics education research. This award acknowledges senior scholars who have made field-defining contributions over their professional careers. Awardees will have had an impact both at the national level, within their own countries, and at the international level. We have valued in the past those candidates who not only have made substantial research contributions, but also have introduced new issues, ideas, perspectives, and critical reflections. Additional considerations have included leadership roles, mentoring, and peer recognition, as well as the actual or potential relationship between the research done and improvement of mathematics education at large, through connections between research and practice.

Hans Freudenthal Award
The Hans Freudenthal medal acknowledges the outstanding contributions of an individual’s theoretically robust and coherent research program, which has had a clear impact on our research community. It honors a scholar who has initiated a new research program and has brought it to maturation over the past 10 years. Freudenthal awardees should also be researchers whose work is ongoing and who can be expected to continue contributing to the field. In brief, the criteria for this award are depth, novelty, sustainability, and impact of the research program.

Deadline for nominations for both awards: November 30, 2022.

Call for Proposals for ICMI Studies

ICMI Studies are a central activity of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction.

An ICMI Study addresses a theme of particular significance to contemporary mathematics education and is conducted by an international team of leading scholars and practitioners.

The team is appointed by the Executive Committee of ICMI and it is expected to conduct the Study in line with the guidelines. Each Study is built around an international conference and results in a published Study Volume. The Study Volume is a critical review and synthesis of the domain that also anticipates future trends and needs.
The ICMI Executive Committee is now calling for proposals for future ICMI Studies!
The proposal may be submitted by individuals or teams of leading scholars in the field representing the proposed theme. The proposal should use the given template and be no more than one page in length.

It should address the following essential elements that are taken into account by the Executive Committee when considering a theme for an ICMI Study: 
The theme is of broad international interest, representing either a mature or emerging field; 
There is sufficient substance in terms of research, literature and practice, in a diversity of contexts and cultures, to ensure productive work and to provide a coherent and useful vision of the theme at stake; 
There is a critical mass of scholars of renowned expertise in the theme who can provide leadership, vision and experience and are committed to invest the effort involved in the production of a Study over a 4–5 year time frame.
Deadline for proposals: September 1, 2021.
