As part of the ETC on Communication and Diversity in Mathematics Education, we are pleased to offer a dedicated Early Career Researcher Day (24th August 2026). This event provides a supportive space for doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, and others at the beginning of their academic careers to share, learn, and connect.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Discuss their research in a constructive environment.
• Engage in discussions on methodology, career development, and publishing in mathematics education.
• Build networks with peers across different contexts.

The day is intended to foster dialogue, collaboration, and a sense of community among early career researchers in the field.

Programme Overview

We are pleased to offer dedicated support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) through both an online pre-event and a half-day programme held immediately before the main conference.

Online Pre-Event — Monday, 19 January, 17:00–19:00 CET
This session will introduce key aspects of ETC 22 and provide guidance on how to prepare effectively (e.g., developing your submission). Further details are available on the conference website. If you wish to attend, please register via the link provided.

Half-Day Programme for Early Career Researchers — Monday, 24 August, 13:30–17:00 CET

To help you get the most from ETC 22, we warmly invite you to join our dedicated half-day ECR programme. The afternoon will include:

• an expert workshop on conducting research related to communication and diversity in mathematics education.
• a networking session designed to connect you with other ECRs in this field and provide opportunities to share experiences.
• a coffee break and an optional group dinner to continue conversations informally.

Participation in both the online pre-event and the half-day programme is free of charge and does not add to the conference fee.
