The Commission for the Study and Improvement of Mathematics Teaching (CIEAEM) intended to investigate the actual conditions and the possibilities for the development of mathematics education in order to improve the quality of teaching mathematics.  

Since its foundation in 1950, the annual conferences are the essential means for realizing this goal.

These conferences are characterized by exchange and discussion of the research work and its realisation in practice and by the dialogue between researchers  and educators in all domains of practice.
