The 22nd International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications (ICTMA22)


Welcome to Linköping University, 10-15 August 2025

Welcome to the international conference ICTMA22, on teaching on mathematical modelling and application. The conference is taking place at Linköping University from Sunday 10 August to Friday 15 August 2025.

In 1989 the fourth International Conference on Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Application (ICTMA4) was arranged in Roskilde in Denmark.

For ICTMA22 in 2025 we extend an invitation to all researchers, teachers and mathematicians interested in the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling and applications to return to Scandinavia again – but this time to Sweden and the city of Linköping.
