The European Summer University on the History and Epistemology in Mathematics Education (ESU) is originally the initiative of the French Mathematics Education community of the IREMs, in the early 1980’s. From those meetings emerged the organization of a Summer University on a European scale, in close cooperation with the HPM group.

 ESU-10 will take place in the Department of Mathematics of the University of Aveiro

NEW: registration fee support

With the financial support of the ICHM (International Commission for the History of Mathematics) and the DLMPST(International Union of History and Philosophy of Science and Technology), the organization of ESU-10 will waive the registration fee for some participants (students and early career researchers (ECRs—researchers at the beginning of their academic or professional careers)). 

Those who wish to benefit from this exemption must complete this survey: https://forms.gle/vwdwnKwn4ftFLxtv8 . Please note that the number of participants supported is limited by the funds made available by the aforementioned institutions (depending on the fee amounts considered, it is expected that around 8 to 9 participants will be supported). 

This formulary must be completed until April 20th (12:00, Portugal Time). This deadline is strict.
