Target Audience
Mathematics educators from universities across the Netherlands. While the program primarily focuses on teaching practices and challenges inspired by the applied mathematics institutes at Delft, Eindhoven, Groningen, Twente, and Wageningen, the discussions and insights will be valuable for educators from all institutions and disciplines with an interest in mathematics education.
Goal
The Education Day aims to inform and inspire educators by exploring the latest developments in mathematics education. It also provides a platform for sharing experiences, fostering collaboration, and building a strong teaching community. These annual Education Days will succeed the Inter TU Study Days (last held in 2019). The long-term vision of 4TU.AMI is to strengthen connections between universities, encourage the exchange of best practices, and support one another in addressing educational challenges.
