7th EUROPEAN SUMMER UNIVERSITY
ON THE HISTORY AND EPISTEMOLOGY IN MATHEMATICS EDUCATION

14-18 July 2014,

Aarhus University, Campus Emdrup, Denmark

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The initiative of organizing a Summer University on the History and Epistemology in Mathematics
Education belongs to the French Mathematics Education community, in the early 1980’s. From those
meetings emerged the organization of a SU on a European scale, as the European Summer University
(ESU) on the History and Epistemology in Mathematics Education, starting in 1993. Since then, ESU
was successfully organized in 1996, 1999, 2004, 2007 and 2010 in different places in Europe:
Montpellier (France), Braga (Portugal), Louvain-la-Neuve and Leuven (Belgium), Uppsala (Sweden),
Prague (Czech Republic), Vienna (Austria). By now, it has been established into one of the main
international activities of the HPM Group, which – from 2010 onwards – will be organized every four
years, so that every two years there will take place at least one major international meeting of the Group;
namely, ESU and the HPM Satellite Meeting of ICME.
