index - International Network for Didactic Research in University Mathematics Access content directly

INDRUM is the acronym for International Network for Didactic Research in University Mathematics. It designates a community of researchers that emerged in the 2010s as University Mathematics Education thematic working groups in international conferences (CERME, the Congress of ERME, the European Society for Research in Mathematics Education; ICME, International Congress on Mathematics Education; EMF, Espace Mathématique Francophone; and, RUME, Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education. The network was formally founded at CERME9 in 2015, its members form the INDRUM Network Scientific Committee (INSC) and its biennial conference is a designated ERME Topic Conference.

INDRUM aims to contribute to the development of research in didactics of mathematics at all levels of tertiary education, with a particular focus on building research capacity in the field, on the development of early-career researchers, and on dialogue with the mathematics community.

INDRUM conferences are biennial and multilingual (English, language(s) of the hosting country). They address all aspects of research in didactics of mathematics at tertiary level, including students' and teachers' practices, teaching and learning of specific mathematical topics, use of resources (digital and other), curriculum, assessment, affect, sociocultural and epistemological issues. Targeted participants include researchers in didactics of mathematics, mathematicians and any teacher or researcher with an interest in this area. Paper and poster proposals undergo a rigorous peer-review process by members of the INDRUM Network Scientific Committee (INSC) and a researcher with experience in the topic of the proposal. Proceedings are published online after the conclusion of the conference and a final round of revisions.

The first INDRUM conference was held in Montpellier, France (2016). The 2018, 2020 (online) and 2022 conferences were held respectively in: Kristiansand (Norway), Bizerte (Tunisia) and Hannover (Germany). Peer-reviewed conference proceedings are available here.

The network is coordinated by a core team of INSC members comprising two coordinators and the chairs of the three past (2022, 2020, 2018) and the forthcoming (2024) conferences – the INDRUM Network Coordinating Group (INCG).

The INDRUM main mailing list is indrum_AT_umontpellier.fr It is used to communicate information about the network activities or other events that may be of interest to the members of the network. Everybody can post to this list and it is moderated by the INDRUM Network Coordination Group (INCG). Should you wish to join the list, please send an empty message to sympa_AT_umontpellier.fr with the following subject: subscribe indrum First_name Family_name (example: subscribe indrum Thomas Hausberger).
