PME Regional Conference are an initiative approved by PME members in their Annual General Meeting in PME 40 (Hungary, 2016). These events have the goal of supporting researchers from regions underrepresented within PME to organize a conference in their region with the objective of promoting both within- and extra-regional networking. In other words, PME Regional Conferences aim at:
a) supporting a regional research community whose goals are aligned with those of PME, and
b) attracting researchers from the region to actively participate in future PME conferences and supporting them in preparing high quality PME contributions.
