The MERGA conference for 2025 will be held in Canberra. The opening of the conference will be held at the iconic Shine Dome, the home of Australian science. All subsequent days will be at the University of Canberra.
Boasting national attractions and an array of restaurants and bars, Australia’s capital is a modern city complemented by nearby wine regions and plenty of natural attractions.
Professor Katie Makar
President, Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA)
Welcome from the MERGA President
Welcome! I look forward to seeing you at the 47th annual conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia—MERGA47. MERGA has a long tradition of gathering together as colleagues to share and discuss developments in mathematics education research. Whether you are an early career or experienced researcher, a teacher, or anyone interested in research in mathematics education, the MERGA47 conference is the place for you. The theme of the conference—Unlocking Minds in Mathematics Education—is of special importance as it reflects the strength of MERGA as a modern organisation committed to living and learning. I am excited for us to see one another again, to welcome newcomers and to shape the future of mathematics education together!
