Scientific Program
The theme of the 46th PME conference is: Mathematics education for global sustainability
Plenary Lectures
There will be four plenary lectures from invited speakers. Each lecturer will have 60 minutes for presentation, and a reactor will then comment on the presentation for 10 minutes. Following the reactor intervention, the lecturer will have up to 5 minutes to respond. In all plenary sessions, there will be time left for questions and comments from the audience.

Plenary Panel
The Plenary Panel will consist of editors of mathematics education journals and its topic is: A manuscript's relationship to global sustainability (e.g., The U.N. Global Sustainability goals, https://sdgs.un.org/ should be a criterion in determining its acceptance for a mathematics education journal.
The panel will follow the structure of an Oxford style debate, hosted by a moderator, and will take place between two teams, the “proponents” and the “opponents” of the claim.
The Plenary Panel will include the following editors of mathematics education journals:
Rina Zazkis (Chair)
Editor, Journal of Mathematical Behavior
Simon Fraser University, Canada
Pat Herbst
Editor, Journal for Research in Mathematics Education
University of Michigan, United States
Gabriele Kaiser
