[cmath] Fwd: ICMI Awards

[Peter Taylor]

Colleagues:
I am the Canadian rep for ICMI (International 
Commission on Math Instruction), taking over from 
Eric Muller.    I will receive periodic news of 
meetings and publications, etc. often from 
Bernard Hodgson, the Secretary-General of ICMI, 
and I will be passing them along to cms and 
cmesg, and possibly others as well.   Please feel 
free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or concerns.
best,
Peter Taylor

Dear colleague,
As you know, the Executive Committee of the 
International Commission on Mathematical 
Instruction (ICMI) some time ago created two 
awards in mathematics education research :
.  the Hans Freudenthal Award, for a major 
programme of research on mathematics education,
.  the Felix Klein Award, for lifelong 
achievement in mathematics education research,

and an ICMI Awards Committee has been appointed 
for selecting the awardees. The President of ICMI 
has appointed me to chair this committee, the 
other members of which are anonymous until their terms have come to an end.

The first recipients of these two awards, 
Professor Guy Brousseau (France) for the Felix 
Klein Award and Professor Celia Hoyles (UK) for 
the Hans Freudenthal Award, formally received 
these at the opening ceremonies of ICME-10 in 
Copenhagen, in July 2004. The two 2005 awards 
went to Professors Ubiratan D'Ambrosio (Brazil) 
(the Klein Award) and Paul Cobb (USA) (the 
Freudenthal Award). These awards will formally be 
presented to the recipients at the opening 
ceremony of ICME-11, to be held in Monterrey, México, in July 2008.

The ICMI Awards Committee is now entering a third 
cycle of selecting awardees for 2007. The result 
of this process will be known by the end of 2007. 
The 2007 Awards, too, will be presented to the 
recipients at ICME-11. As was the case for the 
first two cycles, the  ICMI Awards Committee 
welcomes suggestions coming from the mathematics 
education community in addition to wishing this 
information to be widely distributed. I am thus 
sending you this letter in the hope that you will 
distribute this information to relevant parties in your environment.
Nominations of candidates for the Felix Klein or 
the Hans Freudenthal Awards have to be 
accompanied by summaries presenting the persons 
nominated and the reasons for the nomination. 
Moreover, nominations also have to include the 
names and coordinates of two or three persons 
whom the committee may contact for further information.

All proposals must be sent by e-mail (mn at ruc.dk) 
to myself no later than by 15 November 2007.

Thank you in advance for your help,
Yours sincerely,
Mogens Niss
Chair of the ICMI Awards Committee
