Long or Short Oral Communications
Long oral communications (30 minutes + 15 minutes discussion) or short oral communications (20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion) will be organised in six parallel sessions at ICTMA22. Oral communications can be empirical, theoretical, philosophical or methodological. They may be based on ongoing or completed research.
Reflection fika
Fika is important in Sweden and to Swedes. Therefore, the ICTMA22 programme will include so-called Reflection Fika to take advantage of this uniquely Swedish version of a coffee and cake break on two afternoons of the conference.
A comfortable seating area will provide a relaxed and open setting in which everyone can reflect on the day in conversation. Under the informal guidance of a moderator, senior researchers, including Professor Mogens Niss (Roskilde University, Denmark), will share their impressions and reflections on the day's sessions and put these reflections into different perspectives. The floor will then be open to the audience, who can ask questions, expand on their reflections, dream, criticise or just watch.
A reflection fika is meant to feed our minds and stomachs. A similar interactive academic format was implemented at PME Umeå (2018) and was very well received.

Early career researcher day
The day before the official scientific program of ICTMA22 will start, on Sunday 10 August, 12.00-16.30, a special activity for early career researchers will be offered. All early career researchers and PhD students who are attending ICTMA22 are welcome to participate in this day for a fee of 350 SEK (about 30 Euros), covering the cost for lunch, coffee breaks and refreshments during the day.
The program will be organized and coordinated by Pauline Vos in collaboration with the LOC, with the aim to provide early career researchers with opportunities to develop their research competencies in various areas of modelling education, discuss their research, probe theoretical and methodological issues, establish new contacts, build networks among themselves and interact with a few experienced researchers in the field. The day starts with lunch at 12.00, and the academic program starts at 13.00.
The Early career researcher will be help in the facilities of the Mathematics Department at Valla Campus of Linköping University (same campus as the conference venue).
