Apresentação

The First International Conference on Mathematics Education and Society took place in Nottingham, Great Britain, in September 1998. The Second Conference was held in Montechoro, Portugal, in March 2000. The Third Conference took place in Helsingor, Denmark, in March 2002. The Fourth  Conference was held in Queensland, Australia, in July 2005. On all occasions, people from around the world had the opportunity of sharing their ideas, perspectives and reflections concerning the social, political, cultural and ethical dimensions of mathematics education and mathematics education research that take place in diverse contexts. As a result of the success of these four meetings, it was decided to have a fifth conference in Portugal. As a trial of an international and cross-institutional collaboration in conference organisation, an international organising team of João Filipe Matos (University of Lisbon, Portugal), Paola Valero (Aalborg University, Denmark) and Keiko Yasukawa (University of Technology Sydney, Australia), took the lead in the planning of the conference. Together with a Local Organising Team with members from the University of Lisbon and the University of Algarve, and with the International Advisory Team, it was possible to set up the Fifth International Conference on Mathematics Education and Society in the city of Albufeira, in February 2008.

The conference has been promoted and sponsored by the Centro de Investigação em Educação at the Universidade de Lisboa, the Department of Education, Learning and Philosopby at Aalborg University, and the Faculty of Education at the University of Technology Sydney. Other institutions such as the Fundação Ciência e Tecnologia and the Reitoria da Universidade de Lisboa also sponsored this meeting.
