2nd European Conference on Argumentation: Argumentation and Inference

Fribourg, Switzerland - 20-23 June 2017

The 2nd edition of ECA (http://ecargument.org) will focus on inference as one of the key features of the argumentative process.

The field of argumentation has been expanding over the last decade with a clear opening towards cognitive psychology (and cognitive science more generally) and the processes it accounts for. With the development of cognitive science as an encompassing framework within which both psychological and social aspects of human behaviour can be accounted for, we believe that the time is ripe to ground a discussion in the community of argumentation studies around the notion of inference, along its formal, social and cognitive dimensions. The overarching questions the conference theme will be concerned with are therefore the following: How does the study of argumentation connect with the notion of inference and how, as a discipline, does it connect with the disciplines involved in the study of the cognitive features of inference?

Mathematics Education Research – Learning, Instruction, Outcomes & Nexus?

Singapore, 17 – 22 July, 2017

The Local Organizing Committee of the 41th Annual Meeting of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education (http://math.nie.edu.sg/pme41/) is pleased to invite you to attend the conference to be held in Singapore from July 17 to July 22, 2017.

“Mathematics Education Research – Learning, Instruction, Outcomes & Nexus?” has been chosen as the theme of the conference. The theme offers opportunities to reflect about what we have learned in the past, investigate the present issues, and more importantly, project the future directions in mathematics education research. The theme is inspired by the iconic Singapore mascot, MERLION, which reflects the past and the present. The “Mer” or fish part indicates Singapore’s origin as a fishing village; while the “Lion” part comes from the word “Singa-pura”, which means Lion city.

Deadline for pre-registration and submission of Research Reports, Research Forum papers or Colloquium is January 15, 2017. The submission deadline for other proposals is March 6, 2017
